Artist Anna Giordano re-imagines classical art with the ideals of today’s society and expected beauty standards. Her project is appropriately titled “Venus.”

Apart from highlighting once again the amazing possibilities of digital technologies applied to art, this job from Anna Giordano is indeed a good cue to reconsider both the subjectivity of cultural standards (in facts, ours are so different from the past ones) and the inclination of modern society and advertising companies to edit most images of feminine body in order to reach a fake perfection, corresponding to an unreachable reality.

Maybe next she’ll tackle the Mona Lisa and give her a “trout pout” and some work around the eyes so she looks more like Kim Kardashian?
