Money Lisa (“Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci)

Have you ever wondered what was the inspiration behind famous paintings? Well, a French artist Pez did and created a series of illustrations called “Muses et Hommes” (Muses and Men).

He chose six pieces of art and re-imagined them by adding some well-known pop media works, changing the way the iconic painting is seen. The artist is inspired by graffiti and Pop culture. Many of his works are incredibly intricate and thought-provoking.

Take a look at the series of illustrations “Muses et Hommes” by Pez below.
