Some of his art works
My Favourite art piece
Why i like this art piece?
I like this art piece because this portrait of Mona Lisa enhance the gracefulness and beautiful of the female lead.The volume of the color used also magnifies the smile of the lady in it which I think it gives people a sense of relaxing when looking at it.The background too matches with the lady in the pictures as rocky crags and mists were used.
