Moscow based artist Nikolai Svyatitsky – works in the technique of Photomosaic. He creates mosaic portraits of famous people, as well as ordinary people, working on commission. Nikolai doesn’t use Photoshop, and his art is not a computer-created type of montage (it would be too simple and uninteresting). He builds a mosaic of elements as a puzzle, that has been divided into tiled sections, each of which is replaced with another photograph that matches the target photo.
Portrait of Maya Plisetskaya. Svyatitsky Photomosaic portraits
For creating his mosaic portraits the artist uses different kinds of photos – from neutral (Christmas-New Year, emoticons, road signs, cars, people-crime weapon, politics-the-art, flowers, landscapes, birds, animals) to personal photos from different periods of life, including photos of family and friends, favorite pets, logos and icons of educational institutions, cities, emblems of sports associations, etc. For a personal mosaic, a customer should give no less than 100 pictures, and personal information describing the character traits, interests of a man, and even his zodiac sign. The result is stunning.
There are still doubts whether Photomosaic is an art or mere technique of photo assemblage.
