The collection is entitled "Emoji-Nation"and features famous works by Edward Hopper, Caravaggio and Dosso Dossi. Ptichek explained: "The project started when I realised that standard iOS emojis strongly resemble some well-known paintings of famous artists. I didn't call the first set 'Emoji-Nation Part One’ just in case I was too lazy to continue the project.”
