There are certainly high resolution paintings that manage to be as haunting and evocative as the best pixel art, for example Shan Qiao's "Story of the city" ( ), Nivanh Chantara's "Babiru 02" ( ), or pretty much anything on. You could achieve the same effect with a high resolution image, but then you need to make all the little details beautiful as well, which takes much more work. The end result is that you're looking at a rough description of something that you want but don't have. The viewing angles are carefully chosen, the colors and lights are more vibrant, the shapes of everyday objects are more varied and graceful, the people are better looking, etc. Pixel art (and other art as well) is often stylized, which means it's trying to present a more appealing version of reality. I'm not sure if it's a complete explanation, though.
