Modern Mona Lisa
Modern Mona Lisa is Fabifa’s unique take on Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting, reimagining the classic image within a modern context. This project serves as the foundational inspiration for her broader Cyberbase project, an innovative initiative that merges various art forms, including tapestry, body art, and NFTs, in collaboration with a diverse group of artists, DJs, and influencers.
Concept and Inspiration
Fabifa sought to reinterpret the timeless image of Mona Lisa, shifting it from mere mystique and objectification to a symbol of modern freedom. Drawing from her personal journey from Belarus to Berlin, Fabifa explores themes of liberty and expression, imagining how Lisa Gherardini might appear and express herself today. This modern version of Mona Lisa reflects the freedoms and opportunities available in contemporary Berlin, a stark contrast to the restrictions of her time.
Materials and Techniques
Fabifa employs tape as a modern artistic medium, using its versatility to push the boundaries of traditional art perception. This choice not only adds a tactile element to the visual experience but also introduces innovative light effects to enhance viewer engagement. The tape art can be physically touched, creating a multi-sensory interaction with the artwork.
Artistic Vision
The tape interpretation of Mona Lisa reflects our contemporary reality. Creating a Mona Lisa of the future seemed like a natural next step in this process. For Fabifa, people of the future are those who correctly use modern technologies to strengthen themselves while maintaining a connection with nature. This vision is reflected in the colors inspired by marine life and deep ocean corals, which are also reminiscent of the neon lights of modern cities at night. This duality shows how close we still are to nature.
Conclusion
Through Modern Mona Lisa, Fabifa aims to show that rethinking historical images can help modern individuals connect with the past while embracing future possibilities. The project underscores the importance of freedom of expression and the continuous evolution of art. By freeing Mona Lisa from her historical constraints, Fabifa empowers her with the liberties of the present day, encouraging viewers to explore new ways of perceiving art and their own potential for self-expression.
NFT collaboration with Aetherways
For the creation of the future Mona Lisa, Fabifa collaborated with artist Aetherways, whom she met at an exhibition in Berlin. Their shared values and similar ideas of freedom led to the creation of an image of a future creature with cyber parts that enhance strength. Fabifa’s vision combined seamlessly with Aetherways’s style, resulting in a compelling and futuristic reinterpretation of the classic Mona Lisa.
Expanding on their collaboration, Fabifa and Aetherways have also ventured into the world of NFTs. They have created a series of digital artworks that blend their unique styles and visions, bringing the Modern Mona Lisa into the digital realm. These NFTs not only highlight the futuristic and cyberpunk aesthetics of their work but also make the artwork accessible to a broader audience, embracing the latest trends in the art world and technology.
