Description
This is my minimalist interpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in a 64 x 54 hexagonal form, the smallest I felt could capture the piece. Each hexagon consists of 5 shades of it's respective color, and I rather like the tangible sense of texture this creates. As an additional challenge, I sought to limit my palette to as few colors as possible while maintaining the iconic impact of the original painting. I also used somewhat brighter colors for a surprisingly cartoony and cheerful impression.

There are a 3556 Hexagons Total, in only 9 different colors. Here is the break-down:

993 Dark Green
876 Brown
658 Light Green
424 Off-White
291 Light Skin
209 Dark Skin
92 Medium Skin
7 Pink
6 White

Additional information:

I adapted his from a 64 x 42 pixel digital painting of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa I did in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 (and later incorporated into my image Blinded with Scions ). I selected the Mona Lisa because it is quite possibly the most famous and recognizeable image ever created.

Program: MS Paint
