About the artwork

Mona Lisa - Not so innocent after all, after the work of Leonardo Da Vinci The Mona Lisa, an ancient painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Who does not know the work? After all, the original painting hangs in the prestigious Louvre and attracts 20,000 tourists every day. It is mainly the mysterious gaze of the Mona Lisa that attracts people. She seems to follow you everywhere. And that smile, is so minimal yet present. She is not exuberantly happy, but subdued and content. Besides, for many, the sfumato technique that Leonardo da Vinci used is a wonderful element in the Mona Lisa. Because you can paint with oil paint wet in wet, you can make the light and dark transitions so subtle that it is barely visible where something begins and ends. The Mona Lisa is probably the portrait of Lisa Gherardini or in full Lisa di Antonmaria Gherardini di Montagliari. She was the third wife of Francesco del Giocondo, who probably commissioned the painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. In this urban street art variation, the Mona Lisa is placed in a layered digital composition, as if printed on a piece of cardboard. Perhaps for the first time, we see the Mona Lisa in a less innocent light. She sits there naked and powerful. Her gaze immediately changes to a self-conscious woman who is apparently very comfortable with the hands gripping her breasts as she is stared at by us viewers. A romper, a power woman. Comfortable with herself, in her body and in her womanhood.
