Description from the seller
GICLEE PRINT ON MUSEUM-QUALITY PREMIUM PAPER A3, 30 X 42 CM, 300 G/M² IN A LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES.
This art print captures a moment of brutal and dynamic combat at the heart of an apocalyptic battle. The protagonist is a Space Marine of the Blood Angels (recognizable by the red armor and winged iconography), engaged in a deadly duel against a dark demonic entity.
The composition is overwhelming: the warrior has just delivered a strike with his blood-spattered powered sword, while the demon looms behind him among the flames. The print’s style heightens the violence of the scene through energy-charged brushstrokes and a palette dominated by fire red and smoky black, perfectly rendering humanity’s eternal struggle against the forces of Chaos.
Production method: Development of a preliminary visual-architecture using generative AI models to define composition, tonal values, and color schemes, followed by a meticulous manual digital painting intervention to refine anatomy, integrate customized textures, and imprint the artist’s distinctive stylistic fingerprint.
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 imagination that draws life from the world of American and Japanese animation, merging iconic aesthetics of contemporary media with the historical 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 sensibility, she transforms individual insights into collective works, pushing the boundaries of modern art with an approach that fuses technique and heart.
Key points of NOVA’s vision:
Generational Roots: Born in 2003, carrying the visual heritage of digital natives, blending the speed of the web with the depth of animated storytelling.
Cross-Cultural Experimentation: A constant bridge between classical art history, the fluidity of Japanese Sakuga, and the iconic design of American animation.
Synergy in the Collective: Sees teamwork within SSICK LAB as a natural extension of her artistic language, where collaboration elevates the individual stroke.
Moving Image Aesthetics: The pursuit of an aesthetic that remains tangible while preserving the energy and expressiveness typical of the great masters of international animation.
"My goal is to make dialogue between the rigor of the past and the vibrant energy of the animated worlds that have marked 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.
