David Harianna (1978) - TETRIS Original Artwork

David Harianna | Tetris (2026)
The aesthetics of the 'material pixel': where play becomes sculpture.
David Harianna transcends traditional painting to explore a three-dimensional dimension, situated at the boundary between color and sculpture. In this exclusive work, the artist reinterprets the iconography of the most famous video game in the world through an abstract and visceral language.
The Opera: "Tetris"
In 'Tetris,' the concept of perfect fitting is challenged by the expressive force of painting. While in the original game the goal is geometric order, on Harianna's canvas, the 'blocks' of color seem to struggle for their own space in a dance of material overlaps.
The extreme use of the spatula creates deep reliefs that make the artwork a living organism: the shadows cast by the thicknesses of the acrylic react to ambient light, transforming the perception of the composition depending on the viewing angle. An experience that is not only visual but deeply tactile.

Color Palette
A modern and magnetic contrast. The deep black serves as a background for forest green and ochre yellow inserts, while flashes of purple and white break the continuity, recalling the vibrant colors of classic tetragons in a contemporary style.
