I'm currently developing an exciting web-based app inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's cartographic drawings. Coming soon online and as an interactive kiosk at the Da Vinci Museum in Vinci.

Mona Lisa Anamorph

#origami @origami #leonardodavinci #anamorphosis

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles

-- Bob Dylan, "Visions of Johanna" (1966)

Curved surface origami model, with an anamophic image of the Mona Lisa on it with radial spiral creases converging on the left eye socket. A little disturbing, I must admit.

Anamorphic detail from da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

Leonardo da Vinci was an exceptional man. The #artist understood the rules of #painting but he also knew how to break those rules, and his radical use of perspective light and anatomy created a lifelike immersive experience.

I finally finished the Mona Lisa I was painting. I bought a used frame, painted it gold, put the Mona Lisa in it, and it was finished. It didn't take much work, but I'm satisfied. It was a great learning experience for me about oil painting. #monalisa #leonardodavinci

What if #leonardodavinci painted 🎨 a modern #monalisa with the #eiffeltower as a backdrop with a mythical #citroen 2cv with a baguette. @meta.ai #ai seemed to struggle with the concept of a béret in creating the #aiart despite asking multiple times

I find it interesting that Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci didn’t like each other and did this little cartoon about it. #leonardodavinci #michelangelo #rivals #watercolor
