Paris-based digital artist Sébastien De Oliveira has been giving old photos new life by colorizing them, and his works are simply amazing.
When his interview with Bored Panda, the artist shares “I spend lots of time finding images that tell a story. After spending some time on WW1 and WW2 images, now I am more interested in simple street views or peaceful ‘tranche de vie’ (pieces of everyday life) or colorizing portraits of actors from the golden age of Hollywood,” says Sébastien. “I like to get into all the details that can be found in a photo and try to give my own interpretation.”
