A story of transmuting the grief of one life into a celebration of the grandeur of Life.

More than $850 million — that's the estimated value of the legendary Mona Lisa painting. Nevertheless, one of the most famous paintings and an iconic Renaissance art piece is not for sale. Under French heritage law, an artwork declared priceless is prohibited from being bought or sold. Although you might not be able to take the painting home, you can still take a glimpse at the iconic smiling lady in the Louvre for less than the cost of a meal at Mickey D's.

I create imaginative works of art by combining many photos into one surreal digital compilation. Most of the images I create develop in my mind as a result of feelings I experience at certain moments of my life. I'm not very good at communicating my feelings, so I have a genuine need to express my stories through the art I create. The feelings can be embarrassing or even childlike, and by utilizing these emotions, I can make some pretty interesting art. When a person views my art, I want it to stir up thoughts and feelings. For me, if that does not happen, then it, as a piece of art, was unsuccessful.

The Raft of the Medusa, painting (1819) by French Romantic painter Theodore Gericault depicting the survivors of a shipwreck adrift and starving on a raft. Gericault astonished viewers by painting, in harrowing detail, not an antique and noble subject but a recent gruesome event.

AD 37-41. Bronze, lost-wax casting, retouched by hand with burin and chisel. The head of Medusa is an example of refined craftsmanship. The details of the hair, the scales, the snakes and nostrils were made using handheld tools. The resulting portrait combines the apotropaic function typical of depictions of this monstrous figure with the pathos characterizing the humanized Medusa type. The moulding of the face takes on a more vivid expression when seen from below, indicating that the work must have been positioned high up. THE NEMI SHIPS The two ships are a unique example of ceremonial vessels, genuine palaces floating on the waters of the lake, created by the emperor Caligula in the image of luxurious eastern residences. The attribution to Caligula was confirmed by the discovery of some lead water pipes with inscriptions proving that the ships belonged to this emperor, fond of whimsical creations and constructions judges to be impossible. The emperor’s architects were familiar with earlier examples from the Greek world, dating to the Hellenistic period. The most complete description is provided by the Greek writer Athenaeus of Naucratis who recalls the “floating palaces” of Hiero II of Syracuse and Ptolemy IV Philopater: vessels richly adorned with marbles, mosaics and hanging gardens used as “cruise ships” in accordance with a tradition passed down from ancient Egypt to the Hellenistic princes. Although ancient sources do not mention the Nemi ships, recents studies have succeeded in reconstructing the architecture and function of the vessels. The first was used as a sort of annex to the sumptuous residence owned by the emperor on the banks of the lake. The second was used for ceremonial purposes, as proven by the discovery of cult objects connected to the goddess Isis, assimilated to Diana in the nearby Sanctuary. The complex consisting of the villa, the sanctuary and the ships formed part of a specific political, religious and architectural program devised by the emperor, who intended to revitalize a cultural model passed down to him from the Egypt of the Pharaohs via Hellenistic Greece. THE BRONZE FITTINGS OF THE NEMI SHIPS The bronze fittings are the most important set of objects found during work to salvage the Nemi ships. The first group of objects was acquired by the Museo Nazionale Romano in 1906, following the explorations undertaken in the lake by the antiquarian Eliseo Borghi in 1895 on behalf of the Orsini family, Princes of Nemi, with the authorization from the Minestero della Pubblica Istruzione. The second group of objects came to light during excavations between 1929 and 1932. The objects form a decorative apparatus of exceptional richness: the ships were clearly ostentatious luxury vessels used as an expression of power. Belonging to the decorations of the first ship are the group of animal heads, a common ornamental motif in ancient art. The three lions and the panther adorned the ends of the beams running across the ship, the four wolves decorated the ends of the lengthwise beams; the two lions’ heads on cylindrical caps crowned the long shafts of the side-rudders. The head of Medusa was placed high up, as if to watch over the ship with her gaze. From the second ship come the hands adorning the beams next to the four rudders and the railing with two-faced herms. Within the structure of the ships the bronze decorations stood out from the painter wooden parts and the rich marble cladding. Photographed at the Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Rome.
