Mona Alpaca — Felted Alpaca Fiber Portrait

This wool portrait reimagines da Vinci’s legendary masterpiece through the warmth, texture, and dimensionality of hand-painted alpaca fibers. Known for her enigmatic smile and timeless presence, the Mona Lisa is transformed into a tactile work of art—where classical painting meets the softness of fiber.

Meticulously layered alpaca fibers recreate the subtle gradations, gentle shadows, and delicate details that define the original. From her serene expression and mysterious gaze to the nuanced textures of her attire and background, every element is rendered with a depth and movement unique to alpaca fiber.

Lanart fuses tradition with innovation—translating one of the world’s most iconic portraits into a collectible artwork that invites both admiration and touch.

The Process Behind the Portrait

  • Hand-Painted Color: Each strand of alpaca fiber is hand-dyed in rich, nuanced hues, creating depth and warmth that bring the portrait to life.

  • Creative Collaboration: Guided by an artistic advisor, composition, tone, and balance evolve with intention and care.

  • Thoughtful Framing: Each finished piece is reviewed by our framer, who selects the perfect frame to enhance its natural beauty.

The result is a truly collaborative work of art—crafted with heritage, innovation, and purpose.


About the Artist – Milagros

Every portrait begins in the hands of Milagros, a gifted second-generation fiber artist. Raised in a household where felting was both a livelihood and a legacy, she learned at her mother’s side—not just the techniques, but the art of storytelling through fiber.

Formally trained in fine arts, Milagros approaches felting as painting with alpaca fiber—layering texture, light, and color to create dimension and emotion. Her love of color is matched only by her ability to sculpt life into every detail. Though naturally reserved, she is a quiet force: an advocate for children’s rights in her community, and an example of strength and compassion through art.

Behind her stands a small, dedicated team of artisans who help bring her vision to life—ensuring each portrait is not only technically exquisite, but also infused with care and humanity.
