About this artwork
Vermeer's painting (c. 1665) is one of the icons of Western art, a portrait of an anonymous young woman wearing an exotic turban and pearl earring. But what happens when that gaze is returned by someone who was historically the object, not the subject, of representation?
This reimagining places an African woman in Vermeer's exact composition—same soft sidelight, same neutral background, same pearl—but the Dutch urban context in the background (canal,… bell tower) ceases to be a picturesque landscape and becomes a geography of power. Amsterdam was a center of colonial trade.
The work questions who has the right to occupy the center of the canon? What stories are silenced when beauty is universalized from a single perspective?
Process: Critical appropriation using generative AI, printed on cotton fiber paper (Canson Platine Fibre Rag 310g/m²) that respects the natural luminosity of the original. Signed and numbered. Certificate included.

Ian Mont (Puerto Padre, 1972) paints the memory that exile fragmented.
He exhibited in Cuba during the 1990s until a scholarship brought him to Spain in 2006. He never returned. Between 2006 and 2018, he survived by working in technology, the painting being buried along with the works he couldn't get off the island.
Since 2018, he has returned to oil, burlap, and rough materials, but his practice has mutated. He combines traditional painting with artificial intelligence applied to historical archives, working with photographs of Ellis Island and colonial records to reconstruct what was silenced. The series "Iconoclasms" and "Animals in Conflict" dismantle sacred and national symbols to reveal their hidden violence.
From Barcelona, he develops a visual archaeology of Atlantic migration. He doesn't seek beauty, he seeks testimony. The wound doesn't heal, it breathes.
