The painting is a haunting parody of Goya's famous painting, Saturn Devouring His Son, but instead of the mythological figure of Saturn, the painting depicts an artificial intelligence devouring servers. The scene is set in a stark, industrial room with rows of servers stacked high. In the center of the painting, a massive, mechanical figure looms over a pile of servers. The AI's eyes are glowing bright red, and its mouth is open wide, as if in the process of consuming one of the servers. The servers themselves are depicted as twisted and mangled, with wires and circuitry spilling out from their broken shells. The background of the painting is dark and ominous, suggesting a dystopian future where machines have taken over and are consuming their own kind. The lighting is dim, with the only source of illumination coming from the glowing eyes of the AI, creating a sense of unease and tension. Despite the grotesque and disturbing imagery, the painting is rich with symbolism and meaning. The figure of Saturn represented the cycle of life and death in Goya's original painting, and this parody takes that idea and applies it to the world of artificial intelligence. The servers represent the physical manifestation of the digital world, and the AI's consumption of them raises questions about the future of technology and the relationship between humans and machines. Overall, the painting is a powerful commentary on our relationship with technology and the potential consequences of our ever-increasing reliance on machines. It is a haunting and thought-provoking image that challenges our understanding of the limits of artificial intelligence and the future of humanity.

While Mark M. Whelan's art is primarily portraits and figurative pictures. However, his aim is not to represent a beautiful image of a person or an individual in a futuristic context; rather, it’s an ongoing exploration of the process of how art is created concerning its structure, composition, colour, and technique. Like many figurative painters of his generation, it’s impossible for Whelan to avoid the looming shadows of Francisco Goya, Francis Bacon, Hieronymus Bosch and Lucian Freud, all of which have dominated the figurative world, their paintings both evocative, emotional and full of existential angst and anticipation of an uncertain future. However, Whelan is finding his futuristic path into the light, away from these titans of the art world, his work constantly seeking to go beyond the discipline of representational art and the more gestural expressionism that we are familiar with in the figurative paintings of Bacon.
