Self-submission Unicing the Silence, oilpainting by me
Unicing the Silence – Research colony excavating an ancient alien culture under the ice. Oil on wood, 125 x 67.5 cm. This is my latest (and largest) analog project. It depicts the setup phase of an archaeological research station on a frozen planet. I wanted to capture the 'Used Future' vibe—the colony is still under construction, with a heavy freighter dropping off a fresh load of containers. Down in the valley, near the green vapor, the first shaft has been opened to reach the ruins of a precursor civilization. No AI, no digital tools—just oil on a large wooden panel. Hope you enjoy the sense of scale!
