Richard Weiss, Mona Sun Queen, diptych, acrylic on paper, 22 inches by 29.5 inches, framed.
"One of a Mona Lisa series wherein most of my work suggests the collapse of multiple dimensions and different timelines. Placing iconic figures from, for example, ancient Egypt and Renaissance in juxtaposition is a fun subject to explore.
The goal of my work is to infuse whimsical happiness to viewers by surprising and engaging them into a playful participation, allowing them to create their own unique experience."
