Artists and illustrators tend to create their own images, and designers are commonly referred to as "picture makers" because they create their images from ready-made drawings, photographs or shapes. The Brazilian author Charis Tsevis is also such a "picture designer". From various photographs, illustrations or simply geometric shapes, he creates unusual mosaic portraits.
The "victims" of this designer are not only ordinary people or fictional characters. Charis Tsevis, in his usual way, "drew" the President of the United States Barack Obama, and his wife Michelle, and Brazilian football players, and world famous scientists …
The technique of constructing images using hundreds of other images is so curious that many well-known companies such as Coca-Cola, IKEa and Toyota hired the designer to create their advertisements and promo videos, and popular glossy periodicals repeatedly came out with his collages on the covers.
But most of all in the collection of the designer of sports mosaics. These are footballers, racers, and representatives of other sports. Charis Tsevis says that athletes attract him not only because they are always confident in themselves and simply radiate strength, both internal and physical. It is interesting to "design" them, because sports photography is very dynamic, and movement is life. Which, in fact, the designer depicts on his collages-mosaics.
