✨ Story and Meaning
Mona Italia is a bold reinterpretation of the most iconic and mysterious figure in art history — the Mona Lisa. Created for the The Coast Gallery exhibition in São Paulo, this work goes beyond homage. It is a commentary on the masks we wear in modern society, on the roles we play, and the digital filters that reshape our truth.

Layered with collage, Venetian masks, known faces, carnival motifs and cultural references from the 1500s to today, the painting acts as a mirror to our time. The presence of a paint roller over paper reminds us that we are the authors of our path, even when the brushstrokes seem borrowed.

Mona Italia doesn’t offer answers — it dares to ask: Who are you when no one is watching? What’s behind the smile you present to the world? In a world more obsessed with image than essence, this piece calls us to strip the masks and reconnect with authenticity.
