You can see flows of water in the background of Da Vinci’s masterpieces, such as Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Virgin of the Rocks. Why did he prefer to paint pictures with water which flowed from high mountains? It is also said that Mona Lisa’s hair was painted after the close study of the water movements.
He left many sketches of water, and he depicted how the water flowed on the side of the river. It is interesting for me to see how he ‘described’ the details of the flows; when the water hit a piece of wood or a board, it made fractions with it while making swirls and escaped to continue its journey.
My Ryusui-mon caught the flows of water in which Da Vinci was interested. Therefore, I am positive that Da Vince must have wanted to see my works. One of his works which draws from a small stream, a big flow, and turns into a big flood is very powerful.
Also, he left many scriptures on water. Among them, for example, it reads “Water is the Charioteer of the nature” and “Water changes everything together with time”. Meanwhile, I would like to say “Water is the Charioteer of all the living beings” and “Water creates the time”…
