The Canvas Project is a project created by Brazilian artist Gabriel Nardelli Araújo. The 28-year-old 'frees' well-known characters from classical paintings and puts them in the modern day context with the help of Photoshop. "The process is entirely digital, my works do not exist, at least so far, in physical form. It is done in Photoshop based on photos of places I visited and pictures that I had access to. Other pictures are made available online by the museums themselves in high-resolution files, which has greatly helped in the final quality of the images," he explained in an interview.
At first, this project was just an outlet for Gabriel, that let him create surreal images, but over the time its importance changed. "I have been perceiving montages as new forms of appropriation of space and works of art. I feel like I leave an immaterial mark on that place. People who have had contact with my work and later visit the space or see the original picture can have a new vision about them."

If I have seen this image elsewhere without the information, I would have believed it to be real. Little bit off, but you can blame the photographer or some camera settings for that, except that it too real.
Yup. If something like this happened by my house, i too would've stare at the situation.
That maid looks unimpressed with that man. "like really dude, you have to be naked?"
Dude, you otta take control of your life, first of all why you need someone to step upon when you already have a ladder, secondly, that sword is way too small to charge with. Calm down, come down and Have some tea instead.
"Mommy, why is there a naked lady on your car?" "Hush, child, you know Aunt Mary is a little off."
Wait a minute. You say the only way to get to the ball is by bicycle? Where’s my carriage? You’re not much of a fairy godmother. My gown will be wrecked in the gears!
This is the fourth time I've seen her waiting on someone. I hope the girl is getting overtime pay. :)

It's about time you got dressed, Claire. That couple nearly called the police.
