The masterpiece began when Tormen purchased Mona Lisa potatoes, a starchy, golden-yellow variety, in South America. After bringing her purchases home, the MUA began by tracing a sketch of the art woman on the potato skin with a pen.
Then, with the sketch placed in front of him, the Brazilian makeup influencer started with his makeup brushes. The most important part of the painting was the eyes. So Tormen started with the woman’s discerning eyes, then worked on the outside and finished her skin.
However, it was not enough for him to turn the face of art history into a marvel. The artist took his masterpiece to the next level and worked on recreating the clothing and background of the painting. Tormen dug through his shopping bag and looked for anything he could use to make the woman’s clothes.

Another echoed: “That just goes to show that even potatoes with a little outline can look pretty.” One user just wanted the potatoes to become fries: “They could have become delicious fries, cut potatoes but well done.”
Interestingly, one commenter wondered what happened next to Tormen’s masterpiece: “What happened next? I’d love to see a time-lapse of its decomposition.” Others simply praised the Brazilian makeup artist and his talent for transforming vegetables into iconic art.
