At first, these paintings look like grids of thick, colorful dots. But squint your eyes or take a few steps back and the full image suddenly comes into focus. Polish artist Erky creates what he calls structural paintings, building characters, portraits and familiar motifs from hundreds of individually placed, raised dots. Each mark contains just enough color and detail for your brain to complete the picture. Up close, the work feels abstract and tactile. From a distance, everything becomes surprisingly clear. 🎨 Artist: @alt.erky #art #artist #painting #opticalillusion #portraitart
