Sasha Vinogradova reinterprets Russian folk painting by using skulls as canvases. Vinogradova not only gives life to old bones, she gives a popular aspect of Russian art new perspective.

“I did this thing recently, to show different styles of Russian folk painting. Here are Gorodets, Gzhel, North-Dvina, Zhostovo, Mezen and Khokhloma. I think on skulls it looks fun and new. Also it slightly remind me Día de Muertos.”
