Artist Puts People From Classical Paintings Into The Modern World, And The Result Is Surprisingly Fitting (42 New Pics)

Imagine if subjects from classical paintings spilled out into the real world to live among us, butt-naked and all that. Wouldn't it be strange to see these characters in real life? For this Ukrainian artist, this doesn't sound so unreasonable.
Ukrainian artist Alexey Kondakov's project 'The Daily Life of Gods' mixes dramatic Renaissance classical artworks with the often idyllic environments of the modern world, and the photo manipulations are impressive.
The digital art project began in 2015 when Kondakov used photographs that he took in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and used them as a background for a digital collage made with Photoshop. In these four years, many images have been created, generating three posts previously here on Bored Panda. You can check each of them here, here, and here.
"This project is kind of a 'surrealistic documentary photography' of day-to-day stories, situations, and places all around the world (at least places I've been), inspired by the simple love to stare at everything that surrounds me. A new life of the old paintings, re-thinking the situations by changing the background of the characters into a modern environment," the artist said.
"The latest photo editing artworks are about nightlife, my new experience of attending raves. I am working on this at the moment."
Scroll down and enjoy the famous paintings from a fresh perspective of modern life.

I love this one. One a literal level it seems to tell the story of a country girl in the city. On the more metaphorical level one could probably write dozens of essays inspired by this photo; on the tensions between being and belonging, on gazing into a bigger world but seeing only your own desires reflected back, ect.
I like this because she looks tired. I just think it goes along well with the photo.
Her eyes are deep, dark pools of mystery. As for her drink, I'll have the same please!
This is so cute! Can't tell if it is the mother or the sister but still really sweet!
Thank god the inflatable is in the way or we might have all had an eyeful if side boob! The very thought!
Oops.... You forgot to censor. Their ankles are showing, get on it bored panda.
ew i wouldnt eat that food. His bare butt is sitting on cooking thingies
What's the deal with covering up there women's nipples? I mean they are in the original works of art. And men's nipples aren't covered. Lordy.
And the nipple is the one thing male and female breasts have in common in appearance, yet for some reason male nipples are fine but female nipples are shameful and censored
And it's actually counterproductive because censorship makes it actually look kinky with all those long sticks clipped to their nipples. They would look much more neutral without an ugly unnecessary detail to point out the very part they want to hide.
Yeah! We wouldn't see it as sexual or perverted until they put some sensor on it how sad that art is depicted as dirty things.
BP, are you bloody evangelists or something? This is really pathetic that you are so over-sensitive about nipples. I bet you can't even bring yourselves to say that word.
n-n-ni-nipples. There, I said it
Well you're going to receive 50 lashes for that, you devil!
Your comment is even better since your name is "Titas".
NIPPLES.
WillemPenn, I completely agree, which I expressed in the comments under the consecutive photos. This is insane!
