Description from the seller
LARGE GICLEE PRINT ON PREMIUM PAPER 32cm x 47cm 300 g/m² IN A LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES.
This art print captures a moment of brutal, dynamic combat at the heart of an apocalyptic battle. The protagonist is a Blood Angels Space Marine (recognizable by the red armor and winged iconography), engaged in a mortal duel against a dark demonic entity.
The composition is overwhelming: the warrior has just delivered a strike with his blood-stited powered sword, while the demon looms behind him among the flames. The print’s style heightens the violence of the scene through energy-charged brushwork and a palette dominated by fiery red and black smoke, perfectly rendering humanity’s eternal struggle against the forces of Chaos.
Production method: Development of a preliminary visual architecture using AI generative models to define composition, tonal values, and color schemes, followed by a meticulous manual digital painting intervention aimed at refining the anatomy, integrating customized textures, and imprinting 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, collaborative structure to an imaginary world drawing vitality from American and Japanese animation, blending the 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 serves pure creativity. Through her sensibility, she transforms individual insights into collaborative works, challenging the boundaries of modern art with an approach that combines technique and heart.

Generational Roots: Class of 2003, carrying the visual heritage of digital natives, blending web speed 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 in the Collective: Views teamwork within SSICK LAB as a natural extension of her artistic language, where collaboration elevates individual line work.
Movement 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 rigour of the past dialogue with the vibrant energy of the animated worlds that defined our generation."
