Hiwa Pashaei’s Kurdish Mona Lisa is an original oil on canvas painting that reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic portrait through the lens of Kurdish heritage. Created in 2020, this substantial artwork measures 80 by 50 inches, filling expansive wall spaces in gallery settings or executive offices. The piece is mounted in a gold gilded frame, ensuring it arrives as a ready-to-display expression of cultural identity and artistic mastery.
At the center of the composition, the subject wears a dark, patterned headscarf and elaborate silver coin jewelry, cradling a partridge with precise anatomical detail. The background retains the atmospheric, misty landscapes of the original while introducing subtle geographical motifs. As a one-of-one original work signed and dated by the artist, this painting represents a rare opportunity for collectors to own a contemporary masterpiece that bridges classical technique with modern cultural narrative.
