Pixelflakes is a London based studio comprised of artists. Our carefully selected team specialises in visualising the unbuilt. The approach we take evokes thought and conveys emotion. It is this approach that has cemented on-going working relationships with many of our clients. Whilst we all descend from different backgrounds and nationalities we share a common passion and language for quality artistic visualisation.
