Mosaic Portraits by Anna Halm Schudel

Zurich-based photographer Anna Halm Schudel creates these beautiful portraits by piecing together thousands of small photographs.

Anna's mosaic portraits assemble in a similar way to puzzles.

The artworks are inspired by the fact that every person has multiple facets that combined form his or her personality.

After choosing the subject of her artwork, the artist goes online and looks for photos of the past or present celebrity and starts reworking the digital portraits in a complex process. She usually chooses only one section out of every image, carefully match the formats and tones so that the reworked picture elements assemble like puzzle pieces to form a new portrait.

Each of the small photos used measures only one square centimeter.

Anna Halm Schudel thus leaves her own kind of fingerprint on each work in the mosaic series. The artist’s convergence with – if not penetration of – the interior image of a person in fact quite distant from her is nowhere more concretely evident than in these small details.
