Van Gogh on a PCB

I wanted to create this piece based on impressionism, when the painting itself looks a lot different from afar. This effect was as I intended, from afar it does indeed look like Starry Night from Van Gogh, and when you come close to it, it only looks like a PCB, I did this by zooming out every now and then, and going for some colors that would come close to the work as intended.

I really got the idea out of nowhere, to try and make something that looks like a piece of art on a Printed Circuit Board, I'm not really into engineering or anything, so I've had to ask for tips from a fellow engineer friend on what could and could not exist. Apart from some unwanted mistakes, most of the wrong things are just so you can visualize it apart from a real PCB.
I want to make more of these, maybe 8 or 9, based on famous portraits and paintings. Creating a collection out of PCB based famous art pieces.
Here are the outlines in Adobe Illustrator. I really wanted to make it simple, so that a Thumbnail can catch attention, and the final version can be recognized even though it is still only vector art of a PCB.
