Alexey Kondakov creates a masterful yet playful spin to classical art in Napoli Project. In his digital collages, he fuses “antiquated characters inside clothing shops and riding public transportation,” giving us a brilliantly fresh perspective of historic characters against the backdrop of a starkly different style and tone of a bygone era.
Using photo manipulation, Kondakov superimposes Renaissance paintings onto scenes from contemporary European locations including, but not limited to, Italy, Berlin and London.
To get a hint of just how much skill is required to do this, I made my own botched attempt to create Classical Meets Contemporary as seen above. Not as easy as it looks, folks.
