Installed as part of the artist’s evolving urban gallery surrounding his Santiago studio, Triple David expands the language of pixel-based mosaic through repetition and multiplication. Measuring 290 × 240 cm and executed entirely through the indirect mosaic technique using thousands of 2×2 cm Venetian tesserae, the intervention transforms Michelangelo’s David into a modular visual system where identity emerges through duplication rather than singularity.
The repeated figure generates optical instability, inviting viewers to navigate between recognition and abstraction while questioning how cultural icons circulate, mutate, and persist in contemporary visual culture.
Produced pixel by pixel and tessera by tessera, the work also reflects the artist’s mastery of indirect mosaic construction, a technique for which he has become widely recognized among contemporary mosaic practitioners. Installed in late 2025, Triple David marks a pivotal moment in the development of the urban gallery project, introducing repetition as a fundamental structural element within the artist’s public interventions.
