Mona Lisa modern style

I took this picture in a hotel in Colombia. I first started laughing. I thought it was hilarious. Because I thought of it as a parody at first. Who would think of putting a cigaret or joint into the mouth of the well known Mona Lisa?

But once you start really looking at it, you will think deeper into it. This picture symbolizes creativness for me. It´s extraordinarry, as it it so captivating. 

It´s kind of ironic that a country like Colombia presents such a picture. 

Colombia is seen worldwide still as one of the countries with the highest crime rate. However, the security has been increased enormously.

The drug trade, especially coca and marijuana is a tradition and one of the most profitable business in the country. This is due to the favorable geographical occurrences of cultivation.

Unfortunately, due to lack of prospects of many farmers and rural people who can hardly be due to cheaper food imports still feed, many are literally forced into these machinations, where much money can be earned.

Over half of the world's cocaine still comes from Colombia and is therefore, albeit illegally, a large part of the economy.

I am not an advocate of drugs and I can only advice not to get into it.

Nevertheless, I found this fascinating, as the artist absorbs a critical of society problem incorporates it into existing art. It´s fantastic recreation. I find it really creative.
