Alexey Kondakov is bringing classical paintings into the 21st century.
The Ukraine-based artist marries the subjects of Renaissance paintings with an urban setting for his series The Daily Life of Gods. In these collages, the women and men of classical art ride buses and metro trains and explore alleyways and dark bars.
Kondakov tells Mashable that the idea came to him after seeing Caesar Van Everdingen "Nymphs Offering the Young Bacchus Wine, Fruit and Flowers" for the first time.
He says he came to understand that "heroes of masterpiece" were shown enjoying the company of others in the same ways we do today, a realization that inspired his "mashup with modern urban landscape."
