First, a lot of drawing on paper to analyze the features paintings, the proportions and composition, detail of figures
Several attempts to adapt the geometrical shape and composition of pictures. Use familiar software  Maxon Cinema4D
Oh processing time, let's find a suitable algorithm for working with images,

a little distracted and experimenting with color
 
Analyzing the images, founded symbolism, the position of objects and their possible value (three guns, a book on the desk, writing on the board)
Several ways get rendered errors — glitches, which can be an interesting solution
I'm trying to use an alternative solution, visualize only the color data

Processing experiment
Finally finished, a couple of hours of interesting work
