Description from the seller
GICLEE PRINT ON PREMIUM MUSEUM-QUALITY PAPER IN A3 SIZE, 29.7 x 42 cm, 300 g/m², LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES.
This artistic print fuses the world of Pokémon with the dreamy aesthetics of Dalí-inspired surrealism. The legendary Pokémon Mew floats at the center of a composition dominated by soft clocks that seem to melt into space, evoking a magical and mysterious temporal distortion. The background shifts from a warm coastal sunset to a deep planetary sky dotted with stars. Although the digital style imitates the brushstrokes and shading typical of a canvas work, it is a high-precision print on fine paper.
The Artist: "NOVA"
NOVA is a 23-year-old Italian artist, a key figure in the SSICK LAB collective. Raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture, NOVA brings to the team a vision focused on dynamism and visual storytelling. Her mission is to give a physical and collaborative structure to an imaginary world that draws vitality from American and Japanese animation, blending the iconic aesthetics of contemporary media with the historic visual languages.
Within the LAB, NOVA explores new expressive frontiers, contributing to a perfect synthesis where technological innovation is continually at the service of pure creativity. Through her sensitivity, she transforms individual insights into choral works, challenging the boundaries of modern art with an approach that unites technique and heart.
Key points of NOVA’s vision:
Generational Roots: Class of 2003, she carries the visual heritage of digital natives, mixing the speed of the web with the depth of animated storytelling.
Cross-Cultural Experimentation: A constant bridge between the history of classical art, the fluidity of Japanese Sakuga, and the iconic design of American animation.
Synergy within the Collective: Sees teamwork within SSICK LAB as a natural extension of her own artistic language, where collaboration elevates the individual stroke.
Moving Image Aesthetics: The pursuit of an aesthetic that, while tangible, preserves the energy and expressiveness typical of the great masters of international animation.
"My goal is to make the rigor of the past dialogue with the vibrant energy of the animated worlds that shaped our generation."

Seller's Story
SSICK LAB is a contemporary artistic collective founded in 2025 by the Italian artist SSICK (born 2003), one of the youngest and most irreverent rising talents on the Italian scene. Born with the aim of exploring the boundary between technology, manual craft, and cultural provocation, SSICK LAB stands out for producing unique, limited art prints, created both with traditional techniques and through the deliberate use of artificial intelligence. Each print becomes an hybrid of digital error, aesthetic glitch, and human vision, reflecting the era we live in: between algorithmic chaos and the search for authenticity.
At the center of the collective is the figure of SSICK, who simultaneously pursues a more intimate and radical pictorial research. His manual paintings — oil, acrylic, and mixed media on canvas — move between conceptual art and abstraction with a strong pop imprint. His works reinterpret icons of mass culture (from ’90s cartoon characters to symbols of contemporary capitalism) to overturn their meaning and transform them into powerful anti-system messages. Irony, social critique, generational nihilism, and melancholy merge in compositions full of emotional tension and color.
A great passion of SSICK is also the world of Art Toys. He is, in fact, the creator of SSICKY, the collective’s iconic character: a grotesque, disturbed, and irresistibly collectible figure that represents the distorted alter ego of the artist and his generation. SSICKY appears in a limited sculptural version as well as inside many pictorial works and prints.
SSICK LAB is not only a production collective: it is a think tank, an attitude, a space where painting tradition, technology, and toy culture clash to generate something new, uncomfortable, and authentic.
