'I'll Be Back, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting

2015-2016

This 61" x 44" mixed media painting by the artist XVALA is from his series 'Pandemic Collection: 6.'

By combining a classic sci-fi villain with a modern symbol of literal Cyberpunk, XVALA shows the COVID-19 virus aimed straight toward the earth with a mission to destroy it.
