90 Pixel Art Masterpieces: Pappas Pärlor’s Perler Bead Street Takeover
Trusted by 1.7M+ on Facebook ↗
Pappas Pärlor: The Pixel Art Visionary
Pappas Pärlor, also known as Johan Karlgren, is a Swedish street artist who brings old-school video game vibes to the real world.
He uses Perler beads—small plastic beads that melt together—to create colorful, pixel-style art. His pieces feature famous characters from video games, cartoons, and pop culture, blending them into everyday places like streets and signs.
What makes his art so cool is how it surprises people. You might see Super Mario climbing out of a sewer, Pac-Man chasing ghosts on a city wall, or even Darth Vader walking across a crosswalk. His art makes people smile and look at their surroundings in a fun, new way.

Beyond being entertaining, his work connects people of all ages through their love of classic games and childhood memories. With just tiny beads and a big imagination, Pappas Pärlor proves that even small details can make a huge impact on the world around us.
