THE PIXELACADEMICISM

Pixelacademism is a pictorial approach developed by Florence Tusseau.

Rooted in the tradition of academic painting, it draws upon its essential principles
— precision of drawing, mastery of light and color, rigor of composition —
while radically renewing the very material of the work.

Here, traditional pigment (oil, acrylic, tempera) is replaced by the pixel.
Each work begins with a real base: a photograph taken in natural light.

From this matrix, every piece is painted by hand, directly on a computer screen,
through a patient and meticulous gesture that lays down pixels one by one, like so many colored particles.
The screen is not an image generator, but the support where the pictorial act takes place.

This method fundamentally distinguishes Pixelacademism from digital art or artificial intelligence.
Nothing is calculated or produced by an algorithm:
it is a manual painting process, born from a creative effort comparable to that of classical painters, but with a new material.
Thus, Pixelacademism does not belong to the realm of digital art but rather to that of reinvented academic painting,
where the pixel becomes pigment and confers upon the works an identity both timeless and unprecedented.
