Mona Lisa's mirror
- 21 x 29.7 cm
$35
A reflection of the Mona Lisa painting in contemporary form. The painting is a mirror of Lisa Gherardini (Mona Lisa) in a modern era. This was done in honor of Leonardo Da Vinci’s creativity through his beautiful paintings. Blue represents the mirror; a reflection of Mona Lisa in my own perspective. It was Inspired by a painting called the Mona Lisa which was said to have been painted between 1503 and 1507; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. I created Mona Lisa's Mirror because my creativity is partially inspired by Da Vinci’s work. I have never seen his work in person but I try to study it and learn from it aswell. I read that Leonardo Davinci would always encourage his students to recreate his work and I have always felt like one of his students so doing it was a privilege. My love for color created it this way; in my imagination I saw a present view of Mona Lisa as an art piece with a contemporary sense; pop culture like; it is as if she was alive in the 21st Century. I have done three creations of Mona Lisa's Mirror so far and I love them all. I did this spontaneously because of how inviting it felt to create it and because of its heritage. The art piece always captures people's eye and leaves them mesmerized; the feeling is magical and transcends all art.

Raised by the wolves

Raised by the wolves is a piece of art that simply tells a story on the struggles of growing up and the environment in which we are raised. The wolves depict the roughness and the toughness experienced through the journey and to survive is the beauty and so is the art piece. It portrays an image of the diamond in a ruff that goes through hardships but is able to still love themselves; their body and also their soul. It shows that loyalty is everything. The title which was inspired by a song called wolves, which is done by Sean Michael Leonard Anderson; also known as Big Sean, gives more insight on the theme. I love blending my art with music, movies and photography and when I saw this picture of Polish model, Basia Szkaluba; I imagined a woman scarred but choosing to look beyond it to acknowledge her beauty. Whenever I paint a picture of a woman showing part of her skin; it portrays the vulnerability of letting go & embracing pain and joy altogether & color is the compliment.

The Virgin's Mirror
- 21 x 29.7 cm
- US dollars
$36
After being so inspired by one of Leonardo Da Vinci’s greatest paintings; I created a piece of it called the Virgins Mirror. The original painting being The Virgin of the Rocks was painted twice by Davinci in the 1400s; this was before the Mona Lisa. This art piece is a reminder of how beautiful and immaculate the Virgin of the Rocks is and is only a reflection of it. One art piece being in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France and the other one in the National Gallery in London, England. Leonardo Davinci painted the first one from 1483 – 1486 and the second one in 1495 – 1508. The paintings show the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus with infant John the Baptist and Angel Uriel. Although the date of associated commission is documented; the complete histories of the two paintings are unknown; leaving to speculation about which of the two is earlier. All this and more intrigued me and lead to the creation of the Virgin’s Mirror. My blend of colours reminds me of Leonardo Davinci's sfumato technique of colors. His softening transition between shades and his amazing detailing. Although I don't capture all the paintings detail in mine; it teaches me the color code and how important of a role it plays in differentiating the light from the dark. My mission is to get the idea out; to capture the essense behind a piece of art and in this case I was keen to capture the four subjects and the rocks around the cave. It is only a reflection of the original paintings, so not only does it give you a reimagined view of Leonardo's original paintings, but it makes you curious enough to want to see it; appreciate and learn from it.
