Thank you all for your kind comments.
@Francescosirk: There is a lot of manual work in this. Not every letter but big percentage of them have been inserted manually. The rest is "painted" electronically.

The use of black as a background, as well as parts of the subject, make the colors all the more electrifying! A stunning piece!
