Mona Lisa

ArtBoard

The Mona Lisa is undoubtedly the most famous painting in the world, captivating art lovers and researchers for centuries due to its unparalleled beauty, mysterious smile, and the masterful skill of its creator. Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503 and completed it shortly before his death around 1519.

This artwork has been stolen several times throughout history and, despite being over 500 years old, has not suffered significant damage.

The Mona Lisa is painted in oil on a poplar wood panel and is known as the most recognized, most visited, and most imitated artwork in the world.

The Mona Lisa is also the inspiration for my new project, which is a work that combines the Mona Lisa and ceramics.

In data science, it is said that to manage anything, we must break variables down into measurable components so that we can control them. The path I have taken here follows this principle. I have transformed the final work into countable components with uniform measurements, differing in color, and specified how many units of each I need to start working with a defined plan.

Furthermore, after constructing the units, I will need a map to connect the components and transform them into an organized whole.

The Ceramic Monalisa

Creating ceramic pieces and turning them into a mosaic has perhaps been the most challenging project I've undertaken so far. Pixel art has always inspired me, and this might be the first time I've decided to create a serious work in this field. To confront the challenges of this task, I started with a particularly challenging image.

Having a background in ceramics and pottery, my interest in pixel art led to the fusion of these two passions. I haven't seen similar works combining these elements, both locally and internationally, which further motivated me to give it a try.

The final number of ceramic pieces I decided to work with is 4,004. The dimensions of the pieces are approximately 2x2 centimeters, while the overall size of the mosaic is 1x1.5 meters
