What you’re about to see blends the old with the new. The historical with the current. And we think you’re gonna love the results.
It’s all thanks to a Ukrainian artist named Alexey Kondakov who combines figures from old, classical paintings with current street scenes, mostly from Kiev.
Kondakov started this project back in 2015 and he’s gained quite a following on Instagram, where more than 144,000 people enjoy his work. And we have a feeling that number is going to grow…
Let’s take a look at his work.
