“Machine God” (2022)

28 August 2025

It’s nearing the end of the week, and I like to pull an older piece out of the archive and talk about it a bit. This week I’m going back to early 2022 with “Machine God”, a digital painting and composite with a sci-fi horror mood. It leans into the eerie and the biomechanical, with a nod to H.R. Giger’s baby forms, that unsettling baby-wall vibe that feels half organic, half engineered.

With this one I wanted the industrial and the uncanny to fuse. Faces seem to repeat and drift, while machine parts sprout and press in like they’re alive. There’s a strange maternal feel to it, yet it stays menacing, cold, and digital. It’s less about narrative, more about atmosphere and pressure, like the image itself is breathing through pipes.

Maybe you can imagine them all alive moving and looking around independently?
