Post-apocalyptic gas mask portrait with burning city reflection and heavy industrial splashes, inspired by the Zone universe.

A close-up industrial portrait of a gas-masked wanderer caught inside a post-apocalyptic reality. Red and black ink-splashes collapse around the figure like radioactive dust, while the mask lenses reflect a burning city — amplified in yellow-red contrast.

Inspired by Tarkovsky’s vision, Strugacki's themes, and modern Zone literature from the Fabryczna Zona series, the piece bridges classic Stalker aesthetics with contemporary dark-art language.

It feels cinematic, graphic, and suffocating — a fragment of a world where only industrial echoes remain.

Stalker Piertow finally decided to take a bath — and after washing away three layers of radioactive dirt, he discovered he was no longer bulletproof.

Originally a glorified folk-hero of the Zone, Piertow later became a running joke among stalkers — a way to survive the brutality of life out there with sarcasm, irony, and dark humor.

Printed on heavy 300gsm matte art cardstock — a thick, gallery-grade paper stock normally used for fine art prints and premium illustration work.
Perfect for collectors of dark art, surreal aesthetics, and tattoo-inspired illustration.
