Head of Leda tribute to Leonard da Vinci

Head of Leda is an immersive optical experience—an emotional 3 dimension on canvas portrait in motion, freely inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of the myth of Leda. In this piece, the figure is not static: she breathes, shifts, and reveals her secrets depending on the viewer’s position. From left to right, the hues evolve, her hair color changes, and her emotions surface like whispered chromatic notes.

This work explores inner beauty, grace, and the mystery of transformation. Through a subtle interplay of vertical lines and optical vibrations, I aim to evoke a sense of inner movement—a suspended moment between reality and dream. The image constructs and deconstructs itself as the viewer moves, creating a new intimacy between art and observer.

Each color carries symbolic weight:

Deep black evokes the unknown—the fertile space of silence.

Electric blue invites calm and contemplation.

Lavender suggests softness and inner grace.

Carmine ignites passion and the breath of life.

Turquoise brings balance and freedom.

Purple speaks of nobility and ancient intuition.

Pink recalls love, tenderness, and the memory of the heart.

Through this piece, I pay homage to Leonardo da Vinci—not only for his technical brilliance, but for his profound ability to make the invisible visible. In his sketches of Leda, he captured feminine power through delicate lines. With Head of Leda, I continue this dialogue, offering a contemporary, living, and kinetic interpretation.

This work is not just a portrait—it is a presence. A sensory and poetic experience where every step reveals a new fragment of the soul. It is a dream in motion, a tribute to inner light and the eternal feminine.
