Everyone knows that artists are an eccentric bunch, but this one guy claiming that he’s in a sexual relationship with the Mona Lisa has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

47 year old Domingo Zapata is one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s favourite artists and has won widespread acclaim for his digital reinterpretations of the Mona Lisa – they’ve even been displayed in the Louvre alongside the original – but he’s now claiming that his obsession with the painting equates to a sexual relationship. Here’s what he had to say about it all:

I have been working with Mona Lisa for 15 years. When I was painting her so much, I would dream and I have a sexual relationship with her.
You cannot stop where it’s taking you – It’s about touch, feelings, being naked. As an artist the relationship with the canvas is intimate.
The more you open up, the more risk the more you take – the more you express yourself.
It does become an obsession when you are into a topic and you want to explore it more and more.
Diana Picasso (Pablo Picasso’s great grand daughter) who is an art expert and a good friend of mine, asked me in the studio: ‘Are you dreaming about her… are you having sex with her?’
And I’m like: ‘Of course I am having sex with her in my dreams. If I was not having sex with her I would have quit a long time ago.’
It is almost one of those toxic relationships that never goes away.
You keep going back to it and you cannot move on even after 100 versions. I am working on one right now. It’s a mess.
Kinda just sounds like the guy is a bit of a freak there hey? I suppose at least he’s making his weird kink of having sex with pictures in his dreams work for him though, as I’m fairly sure he sells his artwork for millions of pounds or something. What an inspiration for everyone else out there having creepy sex dreams hey? Change your life now.
For more of the same, check out this guy who dated a cockroach and had sex dreams about it. Definitely not as inspirational.
