About this artwork

In a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci, the artwork integrates modern elements reflecting his legacy of innovation and curiosity. An image of his face alongside an airplane symbolizes his fascination with flight and his visionary designs of airborne machines. The presence of a jar of turmeric adds color and alludes to the natural pigment that the Renaissance figure might have used. Artist Chus Galiano employs paper, cardboard, acrylic paint, graphite, latex, plastic, and aluminum to create the piece.
