De la serie ‘createurs de Adamu’ 2014

This 2014 painting by Carlos Sablón, from his “creators of Adamu” series, is a contemporary reimagining of the iconic Renaissance portrait style. The subject, a woman with a striking elaborate hairpiece, is depicted in a similar pose to Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, holding a small dog and gazing directly at the viewer. The work’s combination of traditional Renaissance techniques and modern elements creates a unique visual experience that sparks dialogue about the relationship between historical art and contemporary practice.
