9 paintings you won't believe aren't photographs
With delicate features and incredible precision, hyperrealist artists are adept at breaking the boundaries that separate painting from photography. His creations, similar to high resolution images, surprise viewers and make them wonder about the veracity of the works that unfold before their eyes. The following is the amazing work of some painters who master this technique like no one else:
1. Jose Vergara
Portraying the human eye in its smallest detail is not one of the easiest artistic endeavors there is. But for illustrator Jose Vergara, this is no problem. Using crayons and pens, he creates eyes with indescribable perfection.
2. Samuel Silva
While many people can only draw using inks or crayons, Portuguese artist Samuel Silva uses ballpoint pens in his hyper-realistic paintings. The sublimity of his features strikes anyone's eyes.
3. Ivan Hoo
A sweet pet pug, a jar of sprawled Nutella, or a goldfish in a bottle of whiskey. These are just some of the creations that make the work of artist Ivan Hoo so plural and contemporary. Self-taught, for 7 years he has dedicated himself full time to producing illustrations of the genre.
4. Yigal Ozeri
A very recurring theme in the works of Israeli Yigal Ozeri is the connection of women with nature. The female figures portrayed in her oil paintings carry a melancholy countenance and are always surrounded by autumn landscapes.
5. Alyssa Monks
Born in 1977 in Ridgewood, Alyssa Monks began her first brushstrokes as a child. With the female body as its main source of inspiration, nothing escapes its realistic strokes: from the tiny water droplets to the steam embedded in the glass of the bathroom stall.
6. Nathan Walsh
With works valued at up to $ 500, 000, this British artist is known for portraying urban scenarios in his paintings. To bring his art to life, he finds inspiration in the constant changes that change, day by day, the landscape of the world's metropolises.
7. Robin Eley
British-born with a fixed address in Australia, Eley takes up to 5 weeks to complete a painting. His creations explore the perception of isolation in the modern world, and to make sense of it, his models are always portrayed wrapped in plastic wrap.
8. Zaria Forman
A trip to the Greenland coast culminated in the art produced by Zaria Forman, an American from the state of Massachusetts. She was so fascinated with the beauty of the place's glaciers that she decided to portray them in an impressive series of illustrations. His talent is so great that his creations were once part of one of the scenarios in Netflix's “House of Cards” series.
9. Mike Dargas
Born in Cologne, Germany, this 33-year-old artist already demonstrated an aptitude for the arts as a child. After successful stints at tattoo parlors, he discovered that hyper-realism was definitely his thing. Today, his incredibly realistic oil paintings are known around the world, and his Instagram profile is followed by nearly 300, 000 people.
