73-year-old Man Creates Stunning Paintings on Microsoft Excel

I always perceived Microsoft Excel as a monotonous and lifeless tool used only for populating sheets with numbers and making invoices. But that was before these ravishing and colossal pieces of art which certainly become eye-popping when you come to learn that they were made using Microsoft Excel.

The smart mind behind these masterpieces is Tatsuo Horiuchi, a 73-year-old artist who debunked, 13 years ago that excel can be a really handy tool to craft amazing art works. “I never used Excel at work, but I saw other people making pretty graphs and thought, ‘I could probably draw with that,” explains Horiuchi.
