Dutch artist Arno Coenen has taken his love of art and crossed it with a healthy gaming obsession to create some of the most impressive mosaics we've ever seen. It makes St Mark's Basilica look a tad drab, if you ask us. The mosaics depict retro gaming scenes with characters ranging from Donkey Kong to Lara Croft.
The work was commissioned for a primary school in Amsterdam, officially making it one of the coolest schools in the world. Coenen was also commissioned to create Virtual Fairytale 2.0 for a school in Utrecht, transforming the entire square to a collage of retro gamescapes.
