Prologue:

The Mona-logue is a series of speculative compositions and is a means for self educating purposes. The theories featured in the Mona-logue are updated and revised versions of the two short booklets entitled, “Monad and the Sfumato Technique,” written by Thiet Pham-gia, for a non-profit exhibition. They were registered with the Library of Congress (N°_PAU.2.216.084) for proof of their originality. Mona-logue is based on the following tenets:

1. There exists two Mona Lisa’s. One portrait lives in London and is in custody of Dr. Henry Pulitzer. The other is displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Both are authentic paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci.
2. London’s Mona Lisa portrait is the real “La Jaconde.” The Louvre’s portrait is the Pythagorean god/dess, Monad, and as such he/she is androgenic with post hermaphrodite characteristics.
3. The background featured in the Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre, is the Monad dwelling on Earth. The background’s location is in Delphi, Greece, on Mount. Parnassus.
4. The Sfumato technique is basically a process of spraying sheer varnish over dry pigments, on top of a non-oiled background.
