It is amazing how many creative artworks exist and we are totally unaware. Mona Lisa, a famous portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century, is probably the richest in replicas and reproductions all over the world. I am to list 12 Amazingly Unique/Creative Mona Lisa Reproductions – And those depicted not on paper.
1. Edible Mona Lisa Made with Sausages! [link]
I guess sausage art is now really popular in Russia, with cool edible artwork like the Mona Lisa pictured here. Now, I am guessing they should do this except make a pizza, that’d be really popular in the U.S. And that is totally edible and designed for eating…
2. Mona Lisa Created from Motherboard Bits [link]
An unexpected tribute to Leonardo da Vinci’s incomparable work of art lies in the lobby of PC maker Asus’ headquarters in Taiwan. It’s a Mona Lisa collage created from old motherboards and computer chips. It’s no patch on the real thing but is still an amazing work of geek art.
Asus designers reportedly dreamed up this Mona Lisa. The work represents two things: a reminder of the technology that Asus built its fortune on and the company’s ethos to encourage and support “any kind of crazy ideas.”
3. Mona Lisa made with 5.184 spools of thread [link]
New York artist, Devorah Sperber deconstructs familiar images to address the way the brain processes visual information versus the way we think we see. Using ordinary spools of thread, Sperber creates pixelated, inverted images of masterpieces, which appear as colorful abstractions to the naked eye. When viewed with optical devices, however, the works becomes immediately recognizable as the famous paintings, like Mona Lisa
The thread spools works are hung upside down in reference to the fact that the lens of the eye projects an inverted image of the world onto the retina, which is corrected by the brain.
4. LEGO Mona Lisa [link]
The work by Eric Harshbarger, completed in November 2000, is entitled “Mona Lego.” It uses the standard Lego “primary” colors: red, green, blue, yellow, white and black and is composed of over 30,000 blocks, measuring six by eight feet, and weighing over 45 pounds.
