The artwork titled “Things from the Flood” was created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016. It is a digital art illustration and is part of the series “Things from the Flood”. The piece belongs to the contemporary digital art movement.
The artwork depicts a snow-covered landscape dominated by two massive, derelict mechanical structures, which resemble large robots or aircraft. The machinery appears to be abandoned, their rusted and weather-beaten exteriors partially buried in the snow. A winding road, slick and wet from the snow, leads the viewer’s eye into the scene, adding a sense of depth and desolation. In the background, a flock of birds is seen flying, which contributes to the overall atmosphere of desolation and abandonment. The cold, muted color palette enhances the somber and eerie mood, characteristic of Stalenhag’s distinctive style in blending futuristic elements with rural settings.
