Unique work.

Created in 2015 as part of the artist’s Digital Expressionism series, Claustrofobia marks a decisive shift from image appropriation toward abstraction. Developed shortly after a period of research and observation of contemporary urban art in Europe, the work explores the expressive potential of the pixel independent of photographic references or recognizable cultural icons.

Constructed using 1 × 1 cm Venetian tesserae and assembled pixel by pixel, the mosaic transforms simple geometric structures into a dynamic visual field of tension, compression and movement. Through the interaction of primary and secondary colors, the composition generates optical rhythms that expand and contract across the surface, creating the sensation of a space simultaneously opening and closing upon itself.

Produced during a period in which the artist’s work was increasingly associated with the reinterpretation of cultural imagery, Claustrofobia represents an important conceptual statement. Rather than relying on an existing image, the work demonstrates that the pixel itself can operate as an autonomous visual language capable of generating emotion, spatial perception and symbolic meaning.

Originally exhibited as part of the artist’s first solo exhibition, the work occupies a pivotal position within the evolution of PixelArt’s practice, bridging digital aesthetics, geometric abstraction and handcrafted mosaic construction.
