The Mona Lisa is probably one of the most recognised and parodied piece of art in existence. Having been meddled and messed around with all sorts of poses, it only seemed right that she
\nwas given a modern gadget, \u2018fashionable\u2019 makeup and, left to her own devices in front of the ladies\u2019 mirror. Her enigmatic pucker and uneven eyebrow, gives an air of slight confused confidence as she presses the button and hopes for the best. She\u2019s guaranteed to raise a smile, or an eyebrow.<\/p>\n
Leonardo da Vinci is believed to have lingered on the Mona Lisa for years, taking it with him when he moved to France – where he worked on it some more – and that it was probably left unfinished. Did he suffer from artist\u2019s block? We\u2019ll never know. His sketches, however, show his flair for invention – a submarine, parachute and helicopter have all been doodled. Perhaps he sketched the idea for the mobile phone on the back of some old parchment? That too, we\u2019ll never know, but adding it with his painting is a great idea for a digital reworking.<\/p>\n
This set of prints began with Botticelli\u2019s \u2018Birth of Venus\u2019. She was modernised with graphic tablet, and shortly after, the Mona Lisa, Vitruvian Man and the Last Supper all followed suit. Many hours of digital painting and reworking later, and the series of images took a life of their own.<\/p>\n
