Hyper Realistic Paintings

Recently I've been really interested in a range of hyper realistic paintings. These paintings resemble a high resolution photograph which developed in the early 2000s in America and Europe. These are AMAZING and I was completely shocked to even believe that some of these ar just oil or acrylic on canvas! I reckon eventhough I can never bring myself to be a perfectionist in the art room, these paintings have inspired me that take an ordinary day to day object and to have a drawing that exactly represents the object itself is an amazing skill. Hopefully this can help me with developing my art theme for IB at school!




Pedro Campos - Crystal Clear Effect
He creates such crystal clear images it's hard to believe they're made by oil on canvas. Taking everyday objects like Coke cans, marbles and fruit, and transforming them into interesting pieces of art, Pedro's a hyperrealist painter with an extraordinary eye for detail.
