This portrait reimagines the Mona Lisa in a bold black-and-white, transforming the classic into a sleek, modern, chrome-like artwork. Across the piece, the word “FAKE” is intentionally placed—not to diminish it, but to clarify its identity. The inspiration behind this work stems from the idea that when you recreate an iconic piece, you must acknowledge that it is not the original. Yet that does not make it any less real in its expression, intention, or impact. By stripping the Mona Lisa of color and redefining her texture, we introduce her to you in a new light: the ‘real’ Mona Lisa through a contemporary lens.
