Veneration of mother Mary
digital painting, 2009

Working on Pixel Art can very well be compared with a little kid's magic castle, which he creates with the use of funny, colorful ready made dismantling building blocks. Or, the confrontation of an infant towards a colorful puzzle block. The pixel art or painting suggest the parameter of the artistic limitation . In order to create a pixel art an artist need to channelize or dismantle their thought within the boundary or the parameter of the scattered pixels. This painting is made with the usage of two software, such as Ms Excel and Photo shop CS3. The excel sheet is a software which deal with Mathematical formulas and calculations .Rather than a painting this visual suggest the calculated application or implementation of color. Here the limitation of the visual can be mixed and matched with the icon of Virgin Mary . On the other words ,this mode of representation is a metaphor which narrate the taboo or the banal space which is being existed in the terrain of so called Christianity.

Hi Jinson
It's good to see your work with some brief description. cool

I think using MS Excel was exciting method but was your intention in this work mocking Christian religious painting? I mean because I don't quite understand what you've wrote at the last part of description. just because of my low English level..
