RELIQUIAE I is the first of a new series by MCSK, continuing the conceptual lineage of the INFINITE PIXELS PORTRAITS and DOMVS series. This digital painting stands as a poetic meditation on the passage of time in the digital era.
MCSK reinterprets classical sculptures through a contemporary lens, crafting forms that appear simultaneously eroded and eternal— artefacts suspended between ancient memory and future decay. Rendered in a single digital layer using traditional oil painting techniques, translated through generative code, the piece echoes the tension between permanence and fragmentation.
Set against a defragmenting matrix of pixelated green code, RELIQUIAE I speaks to the erosion of visual culture in the age of endless replication, offering a quiet relic—a digital votive—of what endures
