Pixel Study Print

Portrait of an old man, created by pixels of different sizes. The smallest, not further divisible element of the digital image is the pixel. Invisible small squares; millions of them constitute the picture. In the concept of minimalism, we can minimize this too. What if we do not compile the image by millions of pixels but only hundreds of them? This simplification - I feel - enhances the power of the picture. The usual feature of digital images is the equalized resolution with pixels of the same size. But if you change the resolution within the image, you can get more artistic effects. Although the basis of the picture is a photo, during the elaboration I actually determined the color of each pixel one by one to achieve the effect of a baroque portrait. Every historical age makes its artwork with its own technique. The tool of our time is the computer. The nature of computer-made works is the immateriality. There is no original. The prints are not reproductions, each one is equally original. Art trade and many collectors loves originals for economic reasons. It is also forced on digital works against their nature, with limited copies. I avoid the limited edition because I want people to buy my pictures not for commercial but for aesthetic values. In the gallery of my digital pictures, everyone can buy original works at a price as low as a reproduction.
