24/1/2007 - Two expressive faces in the Mona Lisa


A physiotherapist and sculptor receive you in his creative privacy.

It is not my claim to be able to explain Leonardo da Vinci’s creative process. I use the affirmative mode, as if I was integrating myself into his mental action of creation. For this, I am going to base my explanations on the process (and not the theme) that I myself followed in the creation of the bust of Cleopatra, that I named “Nostalgia”.
For this bust, a drawing by Michael Angelo from which a dimension of nostalgia radiates inspired me. From this theme, I defined my own essential idea of human as well as mystic nostalgia. Two faces have arisen for merging then into one.
Leonardo da Vinci also defined two dimensions in the Mona Lisa.
These were the expression radiated by Lisa Gherardini and his own, merged one into another.
The evocation of mysticism is strictly philosophical and not religious.
