AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Introducing “Mona Lisa in Brass”

A luminous and sculptural reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci’s timeless masterpiece.

No paint, ink, or print, the world’s most famous portrait emerges purely through structure, shadow, and shine. From a distance, the figure is instantly recognizable. Up close, it dissolves into a golden rhythm, each nail reflecting light against a deep matte black acrylic background.

Solid brass meets fragile acrylic glass, a combination of strength and delicacy that bridges the Renaissance with the contemporary.

The use of pure brass gives a warm, golden glow. Over time, the nails may develop a natural patina, a subtle, living finish that deepens the character of the work and mirrors the enduring mystery of the Mona Lisa herself.

Depending on the light, the portrait shifts in tone and dimension, sharp and sculptural from the side, soft and iconic from the front.

This piece is part of the second collection of Art with Nails by Tijs Dragtsma, realized in a strictly limited edition of ten. Each artwork is slightly unique, but always part of the same vision.

Framed in a handmade Dutch float frame in matte black wood with a brushed gold edge, and signed and numbered on the reverse, this work offers a contemporary homage to the most iconic portrait in the history of art.

About the Artist, Tijs Dragtsma

Part of the Art with Nails series by Tijs Dragtsma, this work is created with a self-developed technique that transforms classic nail art into a bold, modern context. By focusing on pure materials and the interplay of strength and fragility, Dragtsma reimagines timeless icons with powerful presence.
