Norma Picciotto, Mona Lisa, digital photograph, 30x40cm

The artist presents a series of photos she shot in various places of the Mediterranean. Edited and re-elaborated, they deeply move the audience, evoking the embrace between Jewish culture, contemporary Israel and Italian art through small details. Photography glides into painting and poetry, just as well as Italian artistic elements are intertwined with those of Jewish culture, with scenes of modern Tel Aviv and of. Italy and Israel come together in these images, just as two countries “Washed by the same sea”. In this work the Mona Lisa and the artist's photo portrait are overlapped on the water of the sea and some leaves. 

This picture is numered and signed on the backfront: edition of 50 copies.
