The Venezuela-born, London-based illustrator based her work on a trip she took to Mexico. “Years ago I traveled to Mexico and I was lucky enough to visit Frida Kahlo’s Blue House, where I took at least 200 photos of her room, her clothes, her collection of miniature skeletons and puppets,” she recalled in an interview with the Laurence King blog. “All of these elements (and other photos I took in and around the city) later found their way into informing the illustrations for this book.”

Inspired by magical realist novels, coming of age films, DIY comics, and personable characters (real or fictional), Madriz’s illustrations have a naive quality to them that we find quite charming.

Apart from her illustrated book, she’s also worked with clients like Anorak Magazine, SCOOP, and the Arts University Bournemouth. You can see some of her work on her Instagram page, where she’s gathered a small but dedicated following.

Pretty much everything has been reimagined these days.

For example, artists are reimagining Pokemon as people. Some even go as far as to humanize flags.

Perhaps, it should come off as no surprise that an artist decided to reimagine the art icons of the past modern people.

UntitledSave, an artist based in Porto, Portugal, took the biggest icons in the history of art and morphed them into something more modern. The result? A cool-looking tribute to the iconic figures of yesteryears, and proof that the legends of before would look just as amazing as did back then if they were alive today.

What do you think will happen to the influencers of today? Would the artists of the future also do reimaginings of them? Or, are today’s influencers just not up to par with their ancestors?

Either way, UntitledSave’s work is definitely worth a look.
