Mona Lisa Graffiti
20" x 28" in
(50 x 70 cm)
Mona Lisa Graffiti is an official limited Edition Print of 30 signed and numbered copies by Onemizer.
Dimensions: 20" x 28" in (50 x 70 cm).
This artwork is a bold, contemporary reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic "Mona Lisa." The piece juxtaposes classical portraiture with modern graffiti art, fusing historical reverence with urban rebellion.
The familiar, serene visage of the Mona Lisa is strikingly adorned with vibrant, intricate graffiti tags and doodles. Bright colors—pinks, blues, yellows, and greens—swirl across her face and neck, juxtaposing with the traditional, muted tones of her clothing and the background. Each graffiti mark seems carefully chosen, adding layers of texture and narrative that challenge and invite viewers to reconsider the original masterpiece through a modern lens.
The artist masterfully maintains da Vinci's enigmatic smile and mysterious eyes, while the overlay of street art almost suggests a dynamic dialogue between the past and the present.
The contrast between the classical, fin d'siècle technique and the free-form spontaneity of graffiti infuses the work with a unique, rebellious spirit. Light and shadow are expertly manipulated to highlight the tattoo-like quality of the graffiti, embedding the modern markings seamlessly into the fabric of the classic portrait.
The dark, subdued background frames the subject perfectly, ensuring that the viewer’s attention remains focused on the compelling fusion of the old and the new. This artwork serves not only as a spectacular visual treat but also as a thoughtful commentary on the intersection of cultural heritage and contemporary art forms. Each gaze upon the portrait reveals new discoveries within the layers of its vibrant, chaotic surface.
This piece is an assertive testament to the enduring relevance of classical art in the constantly evolving landscape of modern creative expression.

About Onemizer
Onemizer was born in 1987 in the South of France. He spent part of his childhood in Africa where he made his first encounters with art and discovered watercolor.
Back in France as a teenager, he got to know Parisian graffiti during his walks around Paris with his parents.
The edges of the highways as well as the Parisian subways are real museums for him. This real love at first sight pushed him to survey vacant lots, as well as railways and abandoned warehouses, in order to paint on walls and improve his skills out of sight.After high school, he decides to undertake art studies by integrating a design school, but prefers to continue his journey on his own.
Little by little, he goes from the wall to the canvas, and it is pushed by his entourage, that he begins to show his work and exhibit his paintings according to his meetings in luxury hotels, restaurants, bars ...
He then organized his first exhibitions in the surroundings of Bordeaux as well as in the Paris region.
Much has been done since his beginnings in the streets, and he now exhibits in many international art galleries (Paris, Courchevel, Megève, Cannes, Singapore, London, Amsterdam, Dubai, Miami, Tokyo…).
Onemizer took part with a hundred other international artists in the world record for the largest graffiti on canvas which took place in Dubai in November 2014 and which was validated to appear in the Guinness book.
