Mosaic Pixel Art & Pop Culture Portraits
At the heart of Nick Holdsworth’s practice is his signature mosaic pixel art style. Inspired originally by LSD blotter sheets and the repetition of graphics, Nick transforms photographs, iconic locations, and cultural figures into striking pixelated portraits. Each piece begins digitally and is meticulously hand-painted with airbrush, inks, and stencils, resulting in a unique fusion of digital precision and traditional craftsmanship.
Influences: Music, Film, Architecture & Youth Culture

By combining elements of popular culture with contemporary design, his work captures both nostalgia and modernity, appealing to collectors of British pop art, contemporary pixel mosaics, and mixed-media artworks.
Signature Technique: Super High-Resolution Pixels & Hand-Painted Mosaics
Nick’s signature Super High Resolution Pixels technique creates hyper-real, detailed mosaics that often appear digital at first glance. Each piece is digitally composed, layered, and pixelated, then transformed into a hand-painted mixed-media artwork. His newer Pixel Mosaic style emphasizes abstraction and texture, highlighting the artistic craftsmanship behind each piece and making it truly one-of-a-kind.
