It's totally slavic! The print of the dress is a traditional russian print, the painted eggs are usually decorated during Easter , the combination of tapisseries, velvet, used of mixed prints seems like the old datchas... It's an atmosphere , that you seem to not know about.

Slavic folklore is beautiful, but this is way over the top, not to mention that traditionally Slavic women looked more healthy than these stick-figure models. My eyes hurt from what I just saw! :/

As a Russian, I dislike the implication that Slavic=egg. However, my initial displeasure is more than offset by the beauty of the photographs. These are amazing.

The "Pasha" There was commissioned the site have described the Russian people and Orthodox traditions. In this session, we have shown through the eyes of Orthodox Easter by famous artists. Klimt, Petrov-Vodkin, Vrubel, Vasnetsov, Matisse, Warhol. Inspiration also served vintage Easter cards.

The colors are lovely as are the ladies. I love the eggs and other props, but, I don't like the prints on top of another print... too busy to fully appreciate.

Rich, lush colors and patterns surround these beautiful models making for images that bring to mind the work of painters like Klimt. I love the contrast of the pure light skin tones against the busy patterns and vivid colors...lovely work!
