Felipe Pantone is one of the most recognized and prestigious artists in the world today. He was responsible for developing this peculiar project for the façade of the Fine Arts Faculty of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV). His work included in his #Chromadynamica series and perfectly done by Onix mosaic with a Pixel Art style, where each pixel is a tessera.
In the own words of Felipe Pantone, “The idea was to adapt my style to the mosaic technique, limiting the amount of colours and treating the tesserae as if they were pixels. The graphics in question represent images that evoke an idea of the present time. It talks about the characteristics that I consider important in our times: the digital world, change and speed.”
With a size of more than 330m2, more than 500.000 pieces of 6 different colours were needed for the construction of the work. These 6 colours at an adequate distance are able to deceive the human eye, making it see a great chromatic variety.
