✨ Timeless Talent
I've come across an old video of the incredible contortionist Alexey Goloborodko and tried to create an enhanced version inspired by this screenshot:
Today, Alexey is an outstanding performer at Cirque du Soleil with many followers and stunning pictures on his official IG galexey94. However, his performances from the earlier years were only captured on old phones, so I wondered if it was possible to recreate an image based on one of his early contortion acts and make it resemble a modern high-quality photo?
This video I found was reposted by LinkinPark112 on Bilibili, unfortunately I couldn't find the same video on Alexey's official IG galexey94kid. But you can still find many amazing examples of his work through the links mentioned.
What do you think? 😄
One of the best contortionists in the world of all time, in my opinion.
Great art. Not only did you improve the old image, but you also made Alexey look a little more model-like.
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful acrobat.

Yes of course I agree completely 🥰 But also I think it's a blessing that he's willing to share his personal archives, after all there has never been a contortionist like him in the entire history and it would have been a disaster if he didn't share his unique talent. Imagine Mozart writing music just for himself and never sharing it, or Einstein making discoveries just for fun... So if I can help in any way to let more people hear about him, it's great! I've already seen many contortionists mention Alexey as their direct inspiration 😊
Honestly, I still feel stunned when I see such photos, because seeing extreme poses in your art somehow taught me that they are possible only in artists imagination...
I think most of my works are still impossible because I'm deliberately trying to come up impossible poses and it often involves incorrect anatomy 🤭
