On my Instagram profile a puddle reflects a painting by Van Gogh, the girl with a pearl earring replaces Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, and so forth.

My name is Mehmet and I was born in Ankara, Turkey. I work in the field of advertising and fashion, dealing with post-production and graphics.

However, it's what I do in my free time that attracted more than 60,000 followers on Instagram. I use the technique of digital collage photoshopping some of the most famous paintings and masterpieces of art. In my photo manipulations, I combine ancient elements with the protagonists of films and objects or characters of contemporary pop culture.

The real challenge for me is to mix the various visual elements in a single composition that would look credible in the eyes of the viewer.

Let yourself be transported into my surreal world.

    Mixed feelings here. Creative but offensive too. Religion aside, surely mocking any person who has died is wrong.

    I am the least religious person you may find but I think this mix is really sad and hurtful for people who are believers. But as said, the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was...how sad, such a waste. Caravaggio reduced to a wateland by modern times.

    It is an offense of religious feelings of Christians. Where's respect?
