This is really beautiful. Is there any clue into how this was made by the artist?

i would like to know that too. If you haven't checked out the rest of her website you should, there's a whole bunch of neat works and the setup/organization is really cool!!

Judging from the gradations in the lower left quadrant I'm guessing it started as a photo (of a cat or a face?) and parts of it got more simplified. Beyond that we will have to hope Petra stops by gives us some behind the scenes info.

i was doing these drawings in 2004-2005 - they are simply ...digital
"paintings" using the pencil tool in photoshop and usually zoomed in 1200 - 1600 percent. they were sort of obsessive exercises with color... i was working on a couple at a time because of how tedious they are to make pixel by pixel and i would often get sick of working on one so i would move to another. hope that takes away some of the mystique!

Pixel by pixel--yeah! That only adds to the mystique because every pixel was a decision. Good choices.
