SmulSkulz 1 is the inaugural piece in the SmulSkulz collection, exemplifying a fusion of digital and physical artistry. This unique work pairs a handcrafted mosaic with a corresponding digital animation, exploring themes of impermanence and materiality.
Physical Mosaic
Materials: 3,204 semi-transparent acrylic tiles adhered to canvas.
Dimensions: 4.5 x 6.5 inches, mounted on an 8.5 x 11-inch acid-free backing board. The piece is signed by the artist, is ready for display, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Uniqueness: Each mosaic is a one-of-a-kind creation. It captures a single animation frame before digital decay occurs, transforming the untouched digital image into a tangible artifact.
