The paintings by the Belgian artist Nele Boudry are her reinterpretations of Renaissance portraits. They are in reaction to how contemporary society so often seems to see fame and stardom as having more value than the more discrete, warmer values of man.
This series came about after the artist visited the Louvre and witnessed a stampede of visitors, smartphones in hand, on their way to take a selfie with the Mona Lisa while completely ignoring the countless other masterpieces in the museum.
