For the majority of August this summer I have spent my time travelling around parts Europe in which I had the opportunity to see countries and places that I had never seen before. Places including getting to see galleries and exhibitions, but also street art and sculptures which we stumbled upon along the way.
Amsterdam was where I came across this 3D piece of street art made out of polystyrene which had been carved out to have different levels and depths to her hair and face. It caught my eye as it was very different to other street art it was surrounded by, this lady is pale and grey which ordinarily would fade into the background, compared to all the bright, colourful, bold street art she was surrounded with. But she caught my eye for being different, dull coloured polystyrene stuck to a wall, very understated yet I found her to be captivating.
I am unaware if the artist intent was to make her look like the Mona Lisa, but after watching her for a while i found her to resemble her. For me I think it is because of her tightly closed lips and the way her hair falls.
