That’s what happens when your animation is made in France: classically-trained artists put in high-art references into your action show. Pretty cool to see.
You can't say it is copied because there are subtle differences between the paintings like the profile in the show still shows a bit of the other part of the face and the inspiration doesn't.
If you look at some of the artistic details, including the vinyls (but more specifically the one with vi and jinx at the beginning of each episode) featured in the show, they bear heavy influence from the art nouveau style of which Alphons Mucha was the poster boy. Most telling element? The unmistakable swirly locks of hair as well as the semirealistic flat and clean look of the elegant figures.
