The artist replaced the characters of the fresco by Michelangelo "The Creation of Adam" by black women

33-year-old Chicago artist Harmony Rosales published her own version of the fresco of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, in which she replaced the original characters with black women.

The picture of the painting, entitled The Creation of God, quickly became viral, collecting thousands of likes and repots in social networks.

In classical art, the "white patriarchy" has always dominated - in the modern world, such an approach must come to an end, the artist considers: "I wanted to take a recognized, widely recognized work, where white men - knowingly or not - are depicted as a symbol of power and power, and deploy All this is vice versa. "

"Replacing the figures of white men - the most common heroes of classical painting - on black women can contribute to the beginning of the rethinking of certain things and the adoption of new values," the artist says. "If this work causes any feelings at least for a small number of people, I will consider that I have succeeded in helping to change our view of the world."
