Leonardo is you
Raoul Gilioli, 2019
Concept:
When switched off, the work appears as a simple black mirror. As the viewer approaches and attempts to see their reflection, an infrared sensor activates the portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, transforming the mirror into a symbolic encounter between the viewer and the artist.
Through Leonardo is you, Raoul Gilioli explores the value of talent, creativity, and self-discovery, encouraging viewers to recognize their own potential and embrace their inner identity.
Custom versions featuring other images, including historical figures, artists, political figures, or personal portraits, are available upon request.
