For Czech artist Kristyna Milde, the Barbie doll is not a toy, but a real fashion model. With the help of Barbie dolls, the photographer visually interprets old famous paintings by famous masters, turning them into photographs and raising the question of the differences in the image of women before and today, about the ideals of female beauty and their perception.
A series of photographs by Christina Milde has an interesting name "cUMENI", in which the artist combined the history of European painting and contemporary pop culture. The photographs are almost perfect recreations of some well-known canvases, only the female characters in these paintings, with their grace and sensuality, have been lured into “empty” Barbie dolls that are devoid of femininity.
Czech artist Christina Milde takes pictures of Barbies posing as historical characters in famous paintings to explore how the way of representation distorts and disfigures our perception of the fairer sex and their beauty. At all times, there was an ideal of the beauty of a woman, who was considered as an object of desires and visual pleasures, and artists, as well as the media, have the power to influence and change the male view of female beauty.
