Mona Lisa Pop Icons Series – A Modern Renaissance

This striking vibrant series of 3 Mona Li$a artworks created by Aurelia Kramarivszka reimagines the world’s most iconic muse through the lens of contemporary luxury and urban culture. Each painting is crafted entirely by hand — brushstroke by brushstroke — with no digital prints or screen printing techniques, emphasize authenticity and artistic precision.

In these three unique works, Mona Lisa evolves into a new kind of icon. Her legendary smile remains, but her presence is transformed — dressed in Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Hermès, with fluorescent hair tones and bold, expressive color palettes. The word VOGUE forms the backdrop in each work, not just as a fashion reference, but as a symbol of recognition, fame, and visual power — placing Mona Lisa exactly where she belongs: at the center of cultural relevance. The backgrounds, though individually composed, echo one another through electric harmony, creating a strong visual connection across the series, while allowing every piece its own energy.

“For me, the idea was not to copy her, but to re-code her.
I wanted to take something untouchable and make her real — not less mysterious, but more alive.”– Aurelia

These paintings explore the idea of identity in a world driven by image. Each Gioconda asserts her individuality — with details like “Real One,” “Original,” and “Icon” inscribed on her — challenging perceptions of fame, originality, and modern femininity.

Philosophy:
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s timeless portrait and the mystery of Gioconda's smile, Aurelia offers a bold reinterpretation. This is Mona Lisa unfiltered — a fusion of classical beauty and modern confidence. Where da Vinci left us wondering, Aurelia responds with clarity and color. Her Mona speaks of self-worth, elegance, and the power of visual storytelling in today’s world.
