Hyper-realistic Art

It’s Friday. That’s probably about all I need to say about the following post.

Okay, maybe just a little more. I was seriously taken by these pictures by Eloy Morales. And I think you will be, too. Look carefully – what do you see?

 

Odd, unusual perhaps, but look a little closer.

 

Do you see it yet? Try again.

 

That’s right. These aren’t pictures at all. They’re paintings!

 

They are the work of Eloy Morales, in a style called hyper-realistic painting.

 

Yeah, I thought it was amazing, too. I’m tempted to wax poetic about impressions and perspectives and all the rest, but…it’s Friday. 🙂 So just enjoy being amazed as I was.
