David Datuna (born February 10, 1974, Tbilisi, Georgia)〔(Behr-Thyssen Ltd. :: David Datuna )〕 is a Georgian-born American artist living in New York.〔 He is most widely known for his Viewpoint of Millions series that explores the sources and meaning of cultural identity from each unique point of view.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Дэвид Датуна в арт-центре )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blending Philanthropy, Culture and Art )〕 Datuna’s signature technique in Viewpoint of Millions is a network of positive and negative optical lenses suspended over a large-scale layered, collaged and painted image.〔 The mixed media palette often includes photography, newspaper articles, magazine clippings, paint and color.〔〔 The prismatic surface both hides and reveals the work below, while the lenses symbolize individual identity, illusion, perception, fragmentation and unification.〔〔 Portraits, flags and icons are recurring themes within the Viewpoint of Millions series.〔 Datuna’s works have been exhibited in Europe, Russia, China and the United States.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beauty and Power )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steve Jobs Portrait Sells for $210,000 )〕 ==Special Projects== In October 2011, Datuna's portrait of Vladimir Putin made out of miniature images of Mona Lisa was sold for $269,000 during the Art Moscow Fair in December, 2011. In December 2011, Datuna's Steve Jobs / Ayn Rand portrait sold for $210,000 at SCOPE Miami Art Show, which became one of the most expensive art pieces sold at the fair that year.〔 In January 2012, Datuna unveiled an installment in the Viewpoint of Millions art project, titled ‘Viewpoint of Millions: Israel Beyond a Dream’ in Palm Beach, FL.〔 The artwork consisted of an Israeli flag triptych assembled in Datuna’s style of cascading optical lenses, which represented the past, present and future of Israel.〔 A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork were donated to the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.〔 In May 2012, Global Art Group created a mobile application for the iTunes Store that lets users create art in Datuna's style, called Viewpoints.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Viewpoints, App Based on the Eyewear Art of David Datuna )〕 In 2012, Datuna, together with Global Art Group and Mironova Art Gallery donated a portrait of Natalia Vodianova created out of Robert Indiana's LOVE symbol to Vodianova's Naked Heart Foundation charity auction. The work brought in $790,000.〔 This was the second consecutive year of Datuna’s involvement with the Naked Heart Foundation.
