Description by the gallery owner

The artwork "Mona Mouse" created by Amanda Toy is a playful and colorful reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, the Mona Lisa. This work is imbued with pop references and iconic elements of contemporary culture. The Mona Lisa is transformed into a Pop figure.
In the work, there are numerous details that recall the popular imagination, such as dollar bills floating in the air, symbolizing wealth and consumerism. There are also references to cartoon characters, including Hello Kitty, Doraemon and the Powerpuff Girls.
Also, in the background, we see a reinterpretation of Marge Simpson inspired by the painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Rembrandt. This work, therefore, reinterprets a great classic through the eyes of an artist who lives in our era. Leonardo's masterpiece is catapulted into the present day. Leonardo da Vinci worked for many years of his career in Milan. Amanda Toy imagines Mona Lisa living in her glamorous and hedonistic Milan.

Amanda Toy

Scopri l'artista

Amanda Toy, (Genoa, 1976), is an artist who narrates reality with the joy and lightness of children, filling the world, and her canvases, with bright and vibrant colours. His art is a source of inspiration for anyone who wants to (re)discover their playful and slightly disobedient side. In her paintings, and in her tattoos, given that in addition to being an artist she is also a famous tattoo artist, Amanda Toy gives life to a playfully pop, or anar-chic, imaginary universe, populated by stories imbued with emotions and feelings told through decisive lines and vivid colors. This pink and optimistic world is skillfully mixed with a pop and contemporary spirit, which explodes in an iconic and ironic homage to money and luxury. Her art evolved with her career as a tattoo artist which took her first from Genoa to Trieste and from there to the United States, Japan and around Europe. Overcoming borders and broadening horizons has made his style even more eclectic and international with paintings which, little by little, have become populated with subjects, shapes and colors changed from the world of toys. For ten years he divided his time between Italy and London where he tattooed clients from every corner of the globe for one week a month. Both the paintings and the tattoos are dominated by carefree dolls, precise and defined on the skin, more intimate and material in the canvas versions. In 2012 Amanda Toy arrived in Milan where she inaugurated the Toy Tattoo Parlor, a tattoo studio characterized by an environment in tune with her creativity and year-long waiting lists. As her career as a tattoo artist progressed, she realized that her designs could be replicated on any medium. Thus it launched collections of bags, cushions and furnishing objects, effectively becoming a lifestyle brand. With the creation of brass and silver jewels, his characters emerge from the canvas and acquire a body and depth. Concrete artefacts capable of entering into relationships and contact with those who wear them.
