Description from the seller
GICLEE PRINT ON MUSEUM-GRADE PREMIUM PAPER 50 X 70 CM IN A LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES
The work is a digital illustration created with a vibrant spatula (impasto) technique that emulates thick oil painting. The subject depicts a young trainer in a moment of tender complicity with his Charmander, immersed in a lush forest.
The bold use of textured brushstrokes gives dynamism to the flames and depth to the characters' gazes, blending the classical aesthetics of the great color masters with the modern iconography of Japanese pop culture. A small white stylized heart floats among the branches, underscoring the inseparable bond between the human and his adventure companion.
Production method: Development of a preliminary visual architecture through AI generative models to define composition, tonal values, and color schemes, followed by a meticulous manual digital painting intervention aimed at perfecting the anatomy, integrating customized textures, and imprinting the artist's distinctive stylistic fingerprint.
The Collective: SSICK LAB We are a collective of around 24-year-old Italian artists, born and raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture. SSICK LAB was born as a creative laboratory where we experiment with blending the iconic aesthetics of contemporary media with historical visual languages. Our mission is to explore new expressive frontiers, putting technological innovation at the service of pure creativity.
