Photographic mosaic - Unique style of Art

Posted by Ngô Anh Khoa

Ok, today i will introduce you to another kind of art, it really unique and beautiful. It not like any other kind of arts which is usually be created by just one piece of image. Photographic mosaic is created by the combination of many small pictures (usually is the same themes as the large picture or it can be any themes that the author like). According to the online dictionary Wikipedia, the definition of Photographic mosaic is:
Photographic mosaic (also known under the term Photomosaic, a portmanteau of photo and mosaic) is a picture (usually a photograph) that has been divided into (usually equal sized) rectangular sections, each of which is replaced with another photograph of appropriate average color. When viewed at low magnifications, the individual pixels appear as the primary image, while close examination reveals that the image is in fact made up of many hundreds or thousands of smaller images. They are a computer created type of montage. Originally, the term photomosaic referred to compound photographs created by stitching together a series of adjacent pictures of a scene.
And now are some example of Photographic mosaic that i have found on the internet. Most of them are amazing (in my opinion. Hehe). Hopefully you will like it.

Note: all the images are resized to fit your screen. Please click on the image to show the original size.
