The artwork "Pixel Lennon" is entirely handmade and is part of a series of portraits conceived to be the artistic representation of the brain's ability to recognize a face from a few essential elements. 
The work follows in the footsteps of Seurat and Signac, developers of Pointillism, as well as drawing inspiration from Pixel Art, which originated in the 1980s, with the variation of being handcrafted rather than digital. Observing the work from a certain distance (5-6 meters) it is possible to see a normal portrait, only to discover the pixels that compose it by approaching slowly. 
The choice to depict John Lennon is linked to the need for a highly recognizable character, an icon.
