Charis Tsevis - Mosaics in advertising

A collection of mosaic illustrations created for various advertising campaigns around the world.

Mosaics are a great passion of mine. I've been studying them together with synthetic images for over twenty years now. What intrigues me most about these images is this continuous zoom in and zoom out ability that the viewer has. This continous exploration and discovery of new elements and relationships between the part and the whole amazes me. Mosaics are probably the best application for the Gestalt Psychology principle that "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts".

I am not working in Guinness Records :-) but this one is probably the biggest and surely one the biggest mosaic images ever made. The actual billboard in Dubai is 66 ft high and more 600 ft long. You can see it bellow.
