Personal project - Handmade Pixel-Art - 2022

Portrait of Sir David Attenborough.  

Sir David Attenborough is a British naturalist, author, and broadcaster known for his documentaries about nature and the environment. He is considered one of the most influential and respected figures in British television, and is recognized for his outstanding work in raising awareness of the natural world and its environmental issues. Attenborough has produced and presented numerous successful documentary series throughout his long career, including "The Blue Planet" and "The City of Monkeys".

This creation is part of a purely NeoPop artistic approach. Strongly inspired by the 80s/90s and popular culture, this graphic work uses its codes: pixel-art, 8-bit design, colors inspired by the world of video games, dialogue portraits (avatar), characters from Pop culture, etc
The different resolutions allow you to take a fresh look at stars more or less known to everyone.

Due to its minimalist aspect, pixel-art is in essence a distorted representation of our reality.
Each time the resolution changes, we see the representation of this character vanish or anchor a little more in reality. This approach immediately echoes our modern Western society which highlights values ​​such as starification, appearance and immediacy.

To become known is to prepare to no longer be so.
