RetroAtelier / РетроАтелье | Historical reproduction photos

We deeply appreciate the compelling individuality of that and try to do it justice through our own work.

As far as the figure element is concerned, we make a point of keeping it fairly subtle, with the emphasis being on referencing the more risque side of vintage beauty standards as opposed to letting bare flesh speak for itself.

We’re a team of vintage photography aficionados based in Ukraine, however unlikely that may sound.

Corine Ko, 1962 | Abstract Mixed Media painter

Corine Ko's artistic process fuses photography and painting. Reworking her photos with the eye of a painter, she integrates heterogeneous elements to generate original digital collages.

At the same time, photography is literally embedded in her canvases, lending the work a soul and substance that is adorned by the colors of the painting.

She also sometimes uses shreds of torn paper - either lace or printed paper - which add relief to the work and animate the surface with splashes of bright color, embellishing silhouettes that do not have a clear outline; instead, it is the color that defines the shapes and gives them life, liberating them to escape and spread, apparently dissolving the provisional form.

Victor Bauer, 1969 | Ocean breeze

Victor Bauer is an American painter, working mainly with oils.

He born in 1969 and currently working and living in New York.

His art can be found in private collections in the US, Europe and Canada.

My earlier works were mostly abstracts and during these years I developed my own style and technique. My fascination with the human figure for its timeless sensitivity reflected in my latest works. In my paintings I try not only just to replicate a scene, but to create the mood and feelings. The goal is to create a work that is striking and simple.

Paul Klee | Expressionist painter

Paul Klee (1879-1940) was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, and is considered both a German and a Swiss painter.

His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included Expressionism, cubism and surrealism.

He was, as well, a student of orientalism.

Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered colour theory, and wrote extensively about it; his lectures Writings on Form and Design Theory Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre, published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are considered so important for modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo da Vinci's A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance.
