Leonardo's Gaze — Op Art Wall Sculpture after Lady with an Ermine

This handcrafted wall sculpture by Furst_Ori centers on a detailed view of the eye from Lady with an Ermine – one of Leonardo da Vinci's most intimate and psychologically penetrating portraits, painted around 1489–1490. The design applies a bold Op Art treatment to Leonardo's Renaissance masterpiece, transforming a classic historical image into a contemporary visual experience. By blending classical portraiture with hypnotic geometric abstraction, the artwork sets a focused, contemplative mood that bridges the gap between historical mastery and modern design.

The sculpture is engineered to interact naturally with ambient light, turning a flat detail into a three-dimensional experience. The intricate linework and optical patterns of the collage are captured in a high-quality print, secured and protected behind clear acrylic glass. This artwork is housed within a structural geometric frame constructed from steel bars. As light changes throughout the day, the metal frame projects crisp, shifting shadows across the wall, interacting with the optical design of the print to create a dynamic, ever-changing focal point in the room.

Reflecting a commitment to premium quality and handmade integrity, each piece is crafted and assembled in Spain within the Artandshadow studio in Granada. The frames are built from durable steel bars, welded by us, and finished with a distinct silver iron sheen. Because every sculpture is built individually by Furst_Ori, each one carries subtle variations that give it an individual character and a lasting material value.

This original design interior object offers versatile display options, making it equally at home wall-mounted in a modern living room or placed as free-standing desktop art decor in a studio or home office. It serves as a distinct conversation piece for architects, interior designers, and collectors who appreciate Renaissance history, industrial art, and geometric compositions for high-end spaces.
