Lives and works in Kyiv, Ukraine

Alexey Kondakov uses surrealistic documentary photography to superimpose figures from classical artwork into everyday scenes of modern life. He is renowned for his Photoshopped collage series in which Kyiv, Ukraine served as the backdrop for characters from old world masterpieces.



The artist merges the past and the present, showing with a deft eye how classical figures fit seamlessly into contemporary situations that, in themselves, are timeless. The contrast of the romantic subjects, placed into the ordinary everyday backdrops give the observer a fresh view, encouraging the narrative of timelessness.
