In today's world, people often express themselves via emoji.

One touch of your finger informs others that you're annoyed, happy or sad without having to type — or worse, speak — a word.

Kiev artist Nastya Ptichek brought the new world into the old through her art project "Emoji-Nation," which incorporates computer technology into classic paintings.

Ptichek recently told Wired that she "realized that standard iOS emojis strongly resemble some well-known paintings of famous artists," like this emoji representation of Edvard Munch's The Scream.

Her next series, called "Emoji-Nation. Part 2," incorporates depressing social-media notifications into Edward Hopper's somber paintings.

The third set takes classical paintings, and introduces them as popular movie posters, such as this mashup of Kill Bill and Judith Beheading Holofernes.

This article has been edited to reflect the following correction: Edvard Munch painted The Scream. A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that it was painted by Vincent van Gogh.
