Famous Masterpieces Are Re-imagined As Tattoos On The Back

ADVERTISEMENT

The most important part of Agnieszka Nienartowicz’s unique art is a considerable amount of other classical art comprised into them, be that a detail of a background, a character or an element of the composition.

Although just inanimate objects, the beautiful paintings Agnieszka decides to work with carry little bits of life within them, attesting to the inner workings of the famous artists’ minds, as well as, intricacies of, perhaps, long-forgotten times in which they were created.

To work with the famous paintings of the past is to establish a kind of dialogue with their authors. It is an iterative process of transferring the inseparable traces of thought from within those realistic paintings into the new canvas and, at the same time, giving them a new context to mean new things.

Unbelievable talent coupled with great imagination. Stunningly realistic as well.

Beautiful and so lifelike. I wonder how much time would it take for an tattoo artist to make one of it real

Love the video. Looks like she's uncovering the image on canvas, not applying it.

Not into getting tattoos (ever) but I appreciate the detail, dedication what some artist can do on skin... and this women is amazing at recreating the Masterpiece as well as the subject wearing it. My favorite is The Great Wave. 👏🏻👩🏼‍🎨🎨🖌
