These are paintings from different authors and they look as if they were photographs.

I know that for many it is easier to buy a digital camera and make photos but as for me, it takes a big talent to approach to such realism as this, to be able to recreate in perfect, coherent details what you see. A camera is an easy way for people who don’t care, for an artist, it is the meaning of being an artist.

Hats off to all of them for these wonderful artworks!

Though, many argue that the house painted from top to bottom by Polina Raiko is a masterpiece of modern art and even call Polina a Russian Picasso, these paintings can make you nuts if seeing them everyday…

These are works of Japanese painter Tetsuya Ishida. He painted scenes of ordinary Japanese life, but with the protagonist (a self portrait) always trapped in a machine-like body, or treated as part of a production line.

Tetsuya Ishida died in 2005 after being hit by a train (possibly suicide).

Here’s a little selection of animals who know how to hold a brush and do some abstract art.
Most of them are trained, of course, but some of them felt an artist inside them, took the brush and started to create their own artworks.
Like this dog Sammy who lives with his owner in Maryland. His owner said that Sammy started to paint after his owner attached a brush to his rubber bone. Recently some of his works were sold for $1,700. Not bad for a dog, huh? ;)

The amazing oil paintings in these photos are the work of Paul Robert and they really show off his incredible artistic talent. Most are so lifelike they appear to be photographs. His attention to detail makes his paintings photorealistic.
