When Charlie Tookaluk from Umiujaq chose sobriety in 2020, he also picked up a paintbrush. “I saw many images of different art styles of Mona Lisa, I was thinking of painting the Mona Lisa as an Inuk.” He completed Inuk Mona Lisa in November 2021, followed by Inuit Gothic, his take on the iconic couple, in 2023. Tookaluk had previously taken a painting class at John Abbott College in Montreal and later refreshed his skills on his own in Toronto in 2019. (Photo courtesy of Charlie Tookaluk)
