Voxel art
3D art created by stacking small cubic voxels (volume pixels), like pixel art in three dimensions.
Voxel art came into its own in the 2010s through tools like Magica Voxel, but the lineage traces back to cube-based games and demoscene experiments in the 2000s. A voxel artist builds objects by "painting" cubic voxels in 3D space — a digital equivalent of Lego or sandbox play. The result has a distinctly pixelated, retro-futuristic aesthetic, especially when rendered with minimal lighting and clean edges. Many demoscenemakers adopted voxel art to quickly create scenes and animations that render fast but look intentional, bridging the gap between traditional pixel art and 3D graphics.
