Original artwork description:

My work is a visual manifesto that seeks to reconcile the history of art with the
contemporary languages of graffiti, urban art, and spiritual symbolism. In this piece, l intervene in the iconic figure of the Mona Lisa to reframe her as an archetype of the sacred and empowered feminine. I surround her with symbols - hearts, stars, birds, crosses, letters, and vibrant colors — that speak of love, transformation, freedom, and inner rebellion.

Every spontaneous stroke, every written word like "There is a star," invites the viewer to look beyond the recognizable image and connect with their own inner light. The chromatic chaos is not disorder: it is energy in motion, a call to awaken, to break out of molds, and to see with new eyes what we thought we already knew.

I work with the conviction that art must provoke, heal, and reveal. My visual language is an alchemy between the classical and the marginal, the sacred a- the urban, the intimate and the collective.

Materials used:

Acrylic, spray paint
