Have you ever admired a work of art so much that you wondered what it would feel like to actually live inside it? Well, there’s someone who could possibly show you, and she goes by the name Olga Tolstunova.

She is a Ukrainian arts teacher and she has been cosplaying as the popular figures in the most popular paintings in history. She does this with the aim of spreading the word so that learning about these fine pieces will be fun for anyone.

She makes use of clothing, make-up, and creative backgrounds in order to get a replica of the artwork from various eras and artistic styles. This passionate project requires a considerable amount of improvising from the teacher, and this is because many of the clothes in these old artworks are difficult to find or make.

So she often makes use of her own clothes as she looks for pieces that best suit the figure she is cosplaying at a particular time. Also, she replaces the difficult-to-come-by props with different objects that she already has in her house.

She makes sure to use broad make-up and body paint to recreate expressive brushstrokes and colorful designs. By so doing, she appears to have all the earmarks of being more abstract.
