]]> French artist Kyès makes some of the most original portraits of celebrities you have had the opportunity to see on the internet so far. In their works, popular actors, athletes, and musicians become the stars of classical paintings. And when you think about it, this makes perfect sense.

Nowadays, you see celebrities on billboards, magazine covers, and social media posts. This is how they will be remembered several centuries from now. However, if they had lived in the 17th century and had the same popularity, they would have been immortalized in the form of a painting.

Following this idea, Kyès is sending the likes of Mike Tyson, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Scarlet Johansson, and other celebs on a journey back in time. The subjects of these works remain faithful to their present-day look in only their most basic features. Everything else, including their clothes, stance, and body language, is like they were really painted 200 or 300 years ago.

Thanks to the great job they do with these portraits, the artist managed to get themselves an impressive Instagram following. At the moment, they have 89K followers, with the number growing each day.

]]> Craig Alan creates wonderfully unique portraits which at first glance appear like aerial photographs but are actually painted. In his series of hand-painted portraits named “Populis Series”, Alan depicts numerous celebrities and icons of different ages, including Merilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, John F. Kennedy, and Nelson Mandela. Those are created by painting tiny human figures in small or big groups which results in large-scale art pieces.

It sounds unusual and improbable, but by looking closely at his extraordinary work you will realize that every feature of the portrait is created with 400 to 1,800 miniature human figures, depending on the size of the painting.

According to Alan: “art needs to be responsible to its purpose; to inspire and enhance”. Born in San Bernardino, California, and raised in the Atlanta area, his passion for art and visual interpretation started at a young age. After finishing an introductory drawing class in school, he continued to develop technically and conceptually through independent studies. Today Alan’s artwork is exhibited at numerous galleries across the United States and Europe.
