The pixel is the indivisible elementary building block of all digital images, photography, art, video and text. As an experiment in minimalistic art, I started with uniquely capturing pixels one by one in their true, naked and canonical form, uncompromised by any stylization or design. Although there can be endless variations of art made of multiple pixels, there is only one way single pixel art can be made. I therefore decided that it had to be done. The next logical step was to explore the possibilities of multiple pixels from the ground up. Through algorithmic generation, I let the pixels speak for themselves and spontaneously form patterns.

Purple is the color of royalty, wealth and extravagance, but also of magic and mystery. Rare in nature, this color was most wanted in ancient times.

Uniquely captured here in its naked, true and canonical form, uncompromised by any stylization or design.

Contained in a borderless PNG file with dimensions 1x1 and bit depth 8, the smallest form that can readily be used and will withstand the test of time.

Note: Purple Pixel may appear as a purple square in preview images due to automatic zooming of the 1x1 image. Artist guarantees that it is actually only a single pixel.
