We have another self-taught artist for you this week. Michal Klimczak hails from Poland and is a digital artist specialising in photo manipulation. Michal has noted that he draws inspiration from artists Allan Lee, HR Giger, and Michael Karcz.

Below is a small sampling of Michal’s work. Each image links back to the site of origin. Enjoy!

I’ve been eyeing Michal’s art for a while now. I am struck by the immense silence radiating from these images. Michal gives us a peek into a post-apocalyptic future devoid of sound and life. Solitude seems to play an important emotional role here. The ambience overall is a haunting one, filled with a nihilistic hopelessness. And yet, at the same time, I also feel excited at the prospects of an unknown future and seemingly alien Earth. I suppose that is the point, after all. Hope might be a pale, sickly thing in Michal’s world but it still exists, and you’ll find it beyond the clouds of radioactive smog shrouding the distant horizons.

What do you think? Please share your thoughts below.

Cheers!
