This Fat Cat Transforms Iconic Paintings Into Fat Cat Art June 22 2018, 11 Comments
Artist Svetlana Petrova has found a way to combine a love of art and her fat cat, Zarathustra, into the purrfect medium. Petrova seamlessly fits the adorably tubby cat into iconic pieces of art history from all ages and eras. Whether he's munching on van Gogh's flowers or storming across the Delaware with General Washington, Zarathustra manages to transform these iconic paintings with his adorably rotund ginger bod. The feisty ginger is the focus of her muse (or should we say "mews"), but insists that in classic cat fashion, Zarathustra is the real creative genius.
"I am just a humble assistant to His Furry Majesty," she writes, "Who kindly allows me to use all my painting, photography and Photoshop skills to insert his precious images into masterpieces of renowned artists of the past."
