Darkness in the Digital world: The world of Ralph Manfreda

Every once in a while there is a person that explores the depths of the human condition and advances everyone else around him/her that takes part. Not too long ago I came upon a website named Cryptonaut that showcases the artwork by Ralph Manfreda. He currently live in Vienna, Austria and has done CD covers for bands like Pungent Stench or Belphegor. The pieces that he displays shows the breadth of Digital art and some of the masterpieces that are around in this age. I prefer the section known as Apocalypsis over the others because in it he shows humanoid figures and a surreal landscape that presents feelings of power, adulation, and eminence. I hope you grasp the same energy that I did by really seeing the pictures for what they are.
