Varkey is well known for giving centuries-old masterpieces a very 21st-century sense of humor. His edits pair classical paintings with witty captions and painfully familiar situations, turning dramatic glances into relationship problems, grand gatherings into social nightmares, and serious portraits into reactions to the everyday nonsense we all know too well.

What began during the 2020 lockdowns has become a clever way of showing that while technology, fashion, and society have changed dramatically, people are still remarkably good at being confused, annoyed, awkward, lovestruck, and tired of everyone around them.

Scroll down for another batch of clever art-meets-modern-life humor, and prepare to see the old masters in a completely different light.
