Vincent Pixel Remix 2 is one of the most personal works within the artist’s ongoing Pixel Remix series. Beyond its connection to art history, the piece pays tribute to the first artist who captured the author’s imagination during childhood: Vincent van Gogh.
Created in 2021, the mosaic revisits Van Gogh’s celebrated self-portrait through the language of the physical pixel. Built from hundreds of individually placed Venetian glass tesserae, the work transforms one of the most recognizable faces in art history into a contemporary structure of color, light, and visual synthesis.
The project emerged initially as a technical experiment. Working with small 1 × 1 cm tesserae, the artist sought to explore how increased pixel density could capture subtle chromatic transitions while maintaining the geometric rigor that characterizes his mosaic practice. The result exceeded expectations, producing a portrait that preserves both the emotional intensity and the visual immediacy of the original image.
The work is also informed by a direct encounter with Van Gogh’s paintings at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Experiencing the originals revealed how color, texture, and light operate beyond reproduction—an observation that resonates strongly with the artist’s own interest in translating images into physical material.
Unlike many works that emerge from popular culture, Vincent Pixel Remix 2 returns to one of the foundational figures of modern art. The portrait becomes a meeting point between Post-Impressionism and digital aesthetics, between brushstroke and pixel, between artistic influence and personal memory.
The first edition sold immediately upon presentation, confirming the enduring appeal of Van Gogh’s image and the strength of its reinterpretation through mosaic.
