This is work #782 of 963 part of a 25-year artistic journey. Each piece in the Mona Lisa Project is unique and will never be recreated.
What if da Vinci’s Mona Lisa was made of plastic?
This striking art print reimagines one of the world’s most iconic paintings, the Mona Lisa, filled with plastic waste collected from a Spanish beach. Inspired by the haunting photography of Chris Jordan, whose images of seabirds found dead with stomachs full of plastic shocked the world, this work transforms that same devastating reality into a visual language rooted in art history.
The result is a powerful collision of beauty and crisis: Leonardo da Vinci’s timeless masterpiece, reborn as a mirror of our throwaway culture. Every piece of plastic in this image was found by the artist, a tangible, personal act of witness.
⚡ Available in this shop until 1 August 2026. After that, this print will no longer be for sale online, though the work itself remains part of the Mona Lisa Project forever. Part of a 25-year journey that cannot be undone or repeated. If it speaks to you, now is the time.
