Leonardo da VinciMona Lisa

year of creation: 1503-1507
type: oil on board
size: 77x53 cm
place: Louvre, Paris

The painting was supposedly commissioned by Florentine mud merchant Francesco Gioconda, who, however, did not ultimately become the owner of the portrait. The painter was to carry the work with him for the rest of his life. It was already considered revolutionary by contemporaries due to the different perspectives used in the painting: the woman is painted in a central perspective, and the landscape behind her from a bird's eye view. Da Vinci used an oil technique, called sfumato, which involves applying successive layers of paint with very fine brushes, making the glaze almost invisible. Even contemporaries considered the "Mona Lisa" a revolutionary work because the artist used two different perspectives in it: the woman is painted in a central perspective, while the landscape behind her is painted from a bird's eye view.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
