Visual Designer Charis Tsevis Creates Mosaic Portraits Inspired By Colorful Patterns From African Culture

Greek artist and visual designer Charis Tsevis created a series of stunning digital mosaic portraits titled African Bricks, which was inspired by African matchbox houses.

It’s been around 15 years now that I am studying African culture and experimenting with the rich visual language of the continent and its people all around the world. From my first trip to Johannesburg, I fell in love with the African heritage. For me, it’s so strong, so original, so powerful. It’s a solid ground on which I can build my work.

In this collection of African Bricks series, following the concept of the African matchbox house. I so loved these houses. You see that every brick but also every possible material can find its place on these walls in Soweto or other African townships. It’s another series of collages using patterns, textures, fabrics, embroidery, papers, and any other material that reflects the passion and the beauty of Africa

Thank you, Africa. For all the beauty, the joy and the inspiration!
