Simone De Rosa | Acrylic Paint, Spray Paint, Markers | 80 x 60 cm
"Oriental Mona" is a bold and dynamic reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic Mona Lisa, infused with vibrant elements of Japanese pop culture and contemporary street art. Simone De Rosa masterfully blends acrylics, spray paint, and markers to create a visually striking composition that juxtaposes classical portraiture with modern graphic motifs.
The central figure retains the enigmatic essence of the original Mona Lisa, yet is surrounded by a collage of eclectic symbols—ranging from retro video game characters and anime references to bold Japanese typography and commercial logos. The chaotic layering of bright reds, yellows, and blues evokes the bustling aesthetic of urban Japan, while phrases like "WE COME IN PEACE" and "MADE IN JARAN" add a playful, ironic twist.
De Rosa’s work challenges the viewer to reconsider cultural icons through the lens of globalization, consumerism, and the fusion of East and West. "Oriental Mona" is not merely a portrait; it’s a statement on how traditional art can evolve within the context of contemporary visual language.
