Discovering Da Vinci's Daughter Cover

Hi my name is Derek! I'm a writer, photographer, and a digital artist. For the last 6+ years i've been working on a book called: "Discovering Da Vinci's Daughter". It's mostly about different discoveries I've made with Leonardo da Vinci's art: Inluding the Mona Lisa, Last Supper, Vitruvian Man, The Shroud of Turin, and more. It's a long story (hence the book) but I found that he used a previously un-discovered 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. These same subjects were explained in epic detail in Leonardo's own journals. It was through his journals and studying them with modern technology, that I have been able to understand how he achieved this "new" technique.

"I reveal to men the origin of the first, or perhaps second cause of their existence." daVinci

He was the first to conceive of tanks, planes, robots, automobiles, parachutes, submarines, and other things that were FAR ahead of their time. This inventiveness wasn't limited to engineering and inventions but also to revolutionizing art and painting. Anamorphosis, stereography, "photography", 3D  and painting with transparent layers “Sfumato” were in his technical artistic arsenal. What I’ve discovered will add even more advanced achievements to the ever increasing legacy of the amazing Leonardo da Vinci.

“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. How did a 20'something go from working as a receptionist & going to community college to running away to Australia and eventually to writing a book about Leonardo da Vinci? Why? How?

You can preview "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

We're always under construction so please forgive any errors. Spreading the word about this site helps me out a lot. Thanks! Contact me:

"Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past. Prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly." - daVinci

Derek Bair | Itsjustlife.com | Damn Paparazzi!Family & Early Life:

I was born in the city of Big Bear Lake - California. Which is interesting because my last name is Bair. Some of my family came to America only two generations ago, (from Norway and Itally) and others being traced back to William Bruster who was one of the first pilgrams.

 

 

This was the house I grew up in, in Ramona, San Diego, California. I had a 9Acre Back yard!

My old House

Strange Coincidence: the three main windows that looked out over the yard are identical to the three arches above the last supper..

Strange Coincidence: My last name Bair (or Bear) is the same as where I was born "Big Bear." Leonardo da Vinci means Leonardo from the town of "Vinci" ...

Education:

I've been to 11 different school throughout my life (mostly because we moved around a lot) I graduated from El Toro High school in 2001.

After High school I attended Saddle Back Community College for a few years off and on. I majored in Philosophy and film but took the path to transfer to a UC college (University of California) and was accepted into the Cal State Channel Islands, but decided not to go.

 


Australia | Sydney

Derek Bair | Itsjustlife.com | Sydney Opera HouseOn a 'whim', I was fortunate enough to be supported and financed to travel to Sydney Australia to attend KVB: Institute of Technology where I studied Digital Media. A major that could be best described as art - on the computer via web sites, flash - animations - and photoshop. I was essentially learning how to paint and animate images on the computer. These skills would be what helped me notice what I did In Leonardo's art and be able to create a book/ this site. I have been mirroring and manipulating images since then. I also got into Photography while I was there. It was some of the best 5 months ever. I really enjoyed a class-room experience that was focused on learning a skill - rather than being told what the facts were and then being tested on your memory. It was a major factor in deciding not to stay in college and focus on my own education.

"Self Portraits"

I got into photoshop and photography by taking pictures of myself. I actually got obsessed with trying to figure out why some pictures looked better than others.

I started to realize that looking good in a picture is a lot different than in "real life" and this is what led me into photography and digital art. In trying to look good in a picture - I learned how to make the picture ITSELF look as good as I could get it to look. The skills that it takes to do something like that - on a computer - are the same set of skills that it takes to make a painting.

Perspective vs Perception vs Proportion

Either to make it photo-realistict, which means it looks as real-life as possible, or more abstract and artistic. I would play around with both ideas and impliment them in my "self portraits" The technical aspects would inadvertenly give me the basic knowledge it would take to see Leonardo Da Vinci's art for what it really was, or what it really had encoded within it.

By learning how to manipulate and enhance digital images, it meant I could do the same with Leonardo's Images once they were digitized... If I wouldn't have already had the skill-set I had I wouldnt have noticed what I have, OR been able to see them.

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

"You my friend you're like a Champollion and your book must be the Rosetta stone. I really don't understand why yourwork isn't well known or at least credited properly. The website is so pleasant too, your focus and perspective on Da Vinci is for me like entering that new dimension which was there all along but i couldn't acknowledge without the proper key companion to shed a different light than the common mainstream thinking and analysis. And I just bought your book! I'm so excited, i couldn't wait for the re-visited version, i'm too curious to wait actually!" @FritesMoutarde
