Photoxels: How Would Van Gogh Have Looked In A Photo?

The paintings of Vincent Van Gogh with their impressionist swirls are among my favorites. His own famous self-portrait has now been digitally deconstructed into a photo by Lithuanian architect-turned-photographer Tadao Cern.

Revealing The Truth:

Long long time ago a stranger asked me to make his portrait… So I did.

I sent him the image and I never heard back from him again since that moment.

Than I saw one painting and I felt that it was very familiar to me: http://www.tadaocern.com/VincentVanGogh/VVGP.jpg

And then I got it – It was a copy of my photo!

I did a little research on that and it seem that the guy who draw(copied) it is quite well known around…

His name is Vincent Van Gogh and I was lucky enough to make his portrait.

Pity that he never mentioned me and I can't find his contact now…

This video is a comparison of both images.

Explanation for people who got confused: text above is just a joke. This image is a digital recreation of the artist's most iconic self-portraits using photography and digital retouching. The video is a comparison of a painting and my image.
