Welcome to my site. My name is Derek, Derek Bair. I'm a writer, photographer, and a "digital artist." I've been working on a book called "Discovering Da Vinci's Daughter" for the past 6 years. It's about different discoveries I've made with Leonardo da Vinci's art. Inluding the Mona Lisa, Last Supper, Vitruvian Man vs. The Shroud of Turin, and more. It's a long story (hence the book) but I found that he used certain techniques to hide/ disguise additional images in his art that can't be seen without knowing how.
“There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.” -daVinci
To understand what I've found has led me to research other subjects that include optics, perception, perspective, humanities, optical illusions, and our vision system.
“All of our knowledge has it's origins in our perceptions.” -daVinci
My book will follow the journey i've been on in something i'm calling "Interjections" that are interwoven between each chapter. I'm hoping to be done soon but until then you can review "Discovering Da Vinci's Daughter" by going through this site and visiting my blog.
"Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?" -daVinci

The Mona Lisa
Is the most famous work of art in existence. Her face is also one of the most recognizable - and is potentially worth a billion dollars. It's both a mystery and a convtroversy over who she really is and how da Vinci painted her. -HERE |

Salai Giacomo

The Last Supper
There is something really special about Da Vinci's art, especially so in one of the most famous and controversial paintings in the world: "The Last Supper" From the gender of the character to the left of Jesus, to the hand holding a knife?

Shroud of Turin Vs. Vitrivuan Man
The Shroud of Tuin is said to be the single most studied human artifact of all time- with very good reason. It's more like a 3d photograph from possibly thousands of years ago. Some believe it's proof of Jesus's divinity, some think it's a weird scientific anomoly, but no one knows for sure. I think I know who made it.. Read more |
