ABOUT

These looks were inspired by various mythological creatures implementing historical factors while paying tribute to the great masters of European painting.

Medusa, The Gorgon – inspired by Caravaggio, captures gruesome, horrific magnificence. Her intense facial expressions and petrifying comprehension display her defeat and death. It is believed that this painting is one of the most admired and mythological paintings ever painted.

The Rokeby Venus, by Diego Velazquez is one of the most remarkable paintings in history by a true master and genius. The original painting illustrates Venus, erotic and charming lying in a naked, sensual pose, while cupid holding a mirror is completely immersed in contemplation of the goddess.

Bacchus, also Caravaggio’s painting, focuses on the human body while experimenting with dramatic light which became the hallmark of baroque painting. Bacchus, or Dionysus is the god of wine, madness and ecstasy displays a youth reclining in classical fashion with grapes and wine leaves.
