Artist Places People From Classical Paintings Into Modern Reality And They Fit Just Right (25 New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Have you ever stopped to think about how things have changed? We didn't even have to go very far back in time to notice certain aspects that are completely different now. For example, who would've known that a cell phone could do a thousand things? Who would've believed that we could fly with the help of planes, watch moving images on a square box that is now TV, and many other things? We can only wonder how people could live without all this technology and amenities we have now.
But what if we mix up two completely different time periods? That's exactly what one Ukrainian artist did. His name is Alexey Kondakov and he decided to incorporate characters from classical paintings into our modern times. By putting together two unlike image fragments, Alexey managed to create new meanings. After this post, you might not be able to look at the paintings or your ordinary surroundings the same way as before.

Work from home, they said. You can look after the kids while working, they said.

Lady call the exorcist pronto. Look at your other kid's eyes, that baby is possessed.
We contacted Alexey to find out how his career has developed since the last article on our website. The artist shared that big news feeds such as Bored Panda has definitely helped him believe in himself. "But what I can advise artists is to be more consistent in art. Being consistent will help to pick you from other artists and prepare an interesting news/gallery of artworks for publication. So you need to have 50 recognizable pieces, then it is possible to pick 10-15 for the article."

Wow. This looks so very real, like it's a picture taken by a camera.
For now, "The Daily Life of Gods" takes up most of Alexey's time. Last year, the artist was working on his new album/book with all of his artworks from the beginning till 2020.
Alexey shared that he also had a dream of being a DJ, so he started collecting vinyl and is now learning to play them. The artist also wants to travel more this year. Hopefully, the pandemic will allow us all to explore new places and get as many experiences as possible.

Romantic period... but when the door closes this will be full Renaissance...

People and their PDA. I'd say get a room but it seems they are on their way to their room.
Alexey loves making new artworks. "Being an artist is hard work and involves a lot of operational tasks, but all parts of the creative process are parts of my main occupation and beloved project so it is easy to motivate myself to get things done."

So I'm told there is a flasher across the way.....do you think he'll show himself soon? I can't hold this silly pose all day you know.
The artist admitted that he has learned a lot from this project: marketing, sales, communication, music writing, work with different media, etc. Besides all the interests, Alexey also has a dream to direct a movie clip, which is the next goal he wants to achieve.

Oh no, BoredPanda! I can see her nipples through the diaphanous fabric. The horror, the horror. Quick! Get the censor bar before those innocent children see!
When asked about how long it takes to create one fully finished piece of artwork, the artist replied that sometimes he sees an old artwork and immediately knows what kind of story he wants to tell. "Then it takes some time to make the right picture for the background, so this process can last a day, but sometimes it can take even a year till I find the right background. As for photoshopping - it takes a couple of hours, I think."

This is BoredPanda-- they have already censored "ass", "dead", "kill" and the child's name "D**k" on two other posts today.

I would bet that this being a very liberal site (nothing wrong with that) it's done to prevent possible triggering? Lithuania has nude beaches, but with separated sexes, so maybe the owners are a little conservative in that sense.

So, it's the nipple part that's the problem, not the fleshy bit? Then why don't they censor the nipples on boys?

Imagine being the staff member at Bored Panda that is tasked with censoring butt-cracks and nipples on famous works of art because *gasp* some delicate soul might find them offensive.

I'm surprised that Bored Panda didn't censor her butt crack like they've done in these other great works of art.

Oh for the love of freaking god, BoredPanda. This is just getting damned ridiculous now. You censor great works of art yet you hypocrites let trolls on this site run free.

I really hate American culture imposing itself on the world, they freak when they see a nipple or a but crack, but it's ok to see someone get his guts open and ripped off !
Loki’s Lil Butter Knife 3 years ago (edited)
You do realise that BoredPanda is a European website? Still, I agree that the censorship of classical works of art and the human body is just plain stupid.

Seriously? Who are we trying not to offend here? I would figure that guys amputated pinky toe is way more horrifying than an angelic doodle.

Hah ha, I'm sorry-- I lost it at "angelic doodle." It sounds like something Ned Flanders from the Simpson would say.

It spoils the whole post. I mean, ffs, it's just nudity. It's artwork, not p*rn, it doesn't NEED to be censored. The amount of censorship on this site is starting to get ridiculous, and quite frankly, offensive.

This entire post was completely ruined by the BoredPanda Purity Police. Come on, are you that offended by a painted nipple, impressionist butt-crack, or angelic loins? What a way to destroy artwork. Man, this site is going downhill.

The censorship in this article is unanimously ridiculous. The question is will the powers that be that bored panda have the courage to do something about it. I have not seen one post that is in favor of the censorship. Who are you protecting by censoring something that can be found in the greatest museums of the world without black squares?

Because men's nipples = natural and normal whilst women's nipples = sin *eyeroll*
