Here is the English translation:
This is an enlarged reproduction of "Punk Mona", a bold and contemporary reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa, created by the French artist Jisbar. This artwork is part of a limited series of 50 pieces, each enhanced by hand by the artist, making every piece unique.
The original, in a smaller format, made history in both art and space exploration in December 2019, when it was sent into the stratosphere. Carried by a helium-filled balloon, the artwork reached an altitude of 33.4 kilometers, commemorating the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. This symbolic event blended technological innovation with a tribute to one of the greatest Renaissance masters.
The version presented here measures 1.60 meters in height by 1.20 meters in width, creating a striking and immersive visual presence. Its neo-pop style, characteristic of Jisbar, merges urban aesthetics with classical references, reinterpreting "La Joconde" through a vibrant and contemporary lens.
Each piece in this series is framed in a black wooden frame, a refined choice that enhances the composition and amplifies the artwork’s visual impact. Lastly, each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring its exclusive nature and place within this prestigious edition.
An artwork that fuses classical art with modernity, bridging homage and reinvention—ideal for collectors and contemporary art enthusiasts seeking a statement piece with historical significance.
The work offered for sale bears the number 8/50.

The artist
Bio
Jean-Baptiste Launay aka Jisbar is a French pop-street artist born in 1989. He now divides his time between Paris and Lisbon.
Jisbar has made a name for himself worldwide by reinterpreting masterpieces of art history with a personal style influenced by pop and street art. This blend of influences has created an inspiring universe. Each of Jisbar's works goes beyond the idea of a simple remake or reproduction, as it is enriched by elements such as words, slogans, numbers and codes. His aesthetic challenges anyone who takes the time to look at it.
From San Francisco to the Gold Coast, via Taipei to Venice, Paris and London, Jisbar's work travels well and is exhibited in numerous art galleries across the globe. You can also find his creations in renowned museums such as the Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi or the Musée national de l'histoire de l'immigration in Paris. At the Paris museum, Jisbar presented his work Love is the New Fame to the then French President François Hollande.
Jisbar is also known for paying tribute to the great Leonardo da Vinci on the 500th anniversary of his death. Jisbar also sent a new version of his reinterpreted Mona Lisa into space. The painting hovered 33.4 km above the Earth for over an hour and a half. On this occasion, he became the first artist to achieve this feat. His technical feat was widely acclaimed by the international media.
Jisbar has collaborated with renowned brands such as BMW, Armani, LG, IKKS and even MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo.
