An Artist Reinvented Iconic Artwork Featuring Her Chubby Cat and They’re Priceless
Svetlana Petrova is a Russian artist who has become famous around the world for featuring Zarathustra, her huge ginger cat, in famous works of art like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Vincent van Gogh’s Café Terrace at Night. It all started when a friend asked Svetlana why she didn’t do artwork featuring her cat. Back at that time, she was suffering from a bit of a rough patch in terms of inspiration, so she figured she’d give it a try. The end result was charming for the artist, who did not hesitate to send her work to several acquaintances and friends. Then, one good day a friend of hers found that her cat was on the internet. In other words, Zarathustra had gone viral. Since then, Svetlana Petrova has recreated, together with her cat, about 150 famous masterpieces, which she has uploaded to her website since 2011. Later on, she included most of these works in her book Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved by a Ginger Cat with Attitude.
