About the Work

"Conclave of the Nether Sea" thrusts viewers into the heart of a bizarre cosmic tempest where the enduring struggle for survival is depicted with striking intensity. Multiple ships, each with its own storied past, converge violently upon a relentless shore, their collision symbolizing the universal clash of existences.

Rendered with classical grace amidst the chaos, the figures within this surreal shipwreck are captured in a moment of sublime terror and beauty, illustrating the raw dance of survival. The drama of their plight is heightened by the dark, earthen tones that envelop them, casting each splintered hull and desperate gesture in sharp relief.

The bizarre spectacle of vessels in their final throes, interlocked in destruction, crafts a narrative rich with the ferocity of nature’s impartial will. This tableau is a vivid meditation on the unpredictability of life’s journey, where the elemental forces hold sway over man’s endeavors.

This art print, a visceral depiction of the fight for existence and the collision of fates, is a powerful addition to any collection, speaking to those who are captivated by the extraordinary spectacle of life’s tenacity.

Artist Profile

Creative Process

Surrealium's art starts with traditional sketching and painting, with some pieces evolving digitally through AI and generative technologies. Each artwork undergoes about 4000 iterations, balancing creativity and precision. The final pieces are printed using the Giclée method on archival paper, capturing texture and color with high fidelity for sophisticated, lasting art prints.

Materials and Care

Our prints are crafted using the finest inks on sustainably sourced archival paper, ensuring an 80-year archival life. Handle with care due to the delicate surface. Prints are delivered in a hard-surface box for protection and unframed in sustainable packaging. Framing is recommended upon arrival to protect the edges. These hybrid artworks blend traditional, digital, and generative art techniques, printed on Hahnemühle Rag paper (308 gsm, matte finish) using the Giclée method with 11 Ultra Wide Gamut Inks. Each limited edition includes 50 prints per size, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
