Amazing Hyperrealistic Portraits That Seem To Jump Off The Page
(Bored Panda) Hyperrealism art is always a feast for our eyes. It's a type of art that makes us look twice as paintings seem to jump off the page leaving us wondering how the artist managed to deceive our eyes. At first glance, it may seem effortless but after you take a second look, it's quite mind-blowing!

The artist's name is seen on the bottom right corner of some of the portraits - but it's a signature, and I can't decipher it. It wasn't posted with the article.
Those are amazing.
Great seed Buzz. The lady is an astounding artist!
Did an image search in Google using the last image in your seed and found this site.

The site is in Russian but with Google translate I got this info;
Thank you SO MUCH, Old Hermit. You've done a fantastic job of unravelling what had been for me a real mystery.
You're welcome Buzz, it was my pleasure.
Enjoy the Holidays!
What the heck OH, they probably said the same thing about Da Vinci when they first saw the Mona Lisa, and they definitely did about Rockwell. The people running the art world in any particular time period are overly impressed with themselves and always have been. If you think they pan other artists just because they use pencils, just check out what they say about photographers. This lady's work is excellent. If the critics don't like it, that's their loss.
I love the way that the eyes seem to jump out at you.
Amazing, simply amazing.
cool
How do I get the one of Pine? I could cougar the shit out of that man.
Mmmhmmm.
My brother in law does these types of drawings and paintings for years. It takes amazing skill.
There is a painting (or possibly an engraving) by an American artist named Washington Alston*; I saw it once many years ago, but never since although I have looked for it. It was entitled, "The poor author and the Wealthy (Rich) Book Seller. In the scene, the book seller was a fat, well-dressed man sitting in a rocking chair in his book store, and the author … was sweeping the floor!
The art, literature, entertainment and other such worlds are controlled more by wealthy agents and entrepreneurs than by public "tastes" which, are themselves manipulated and "sold," both literally and figuratively to the public.
Leonardo completed only 21 paintings in his lifetime, Van Gogh sold just one!
As for "realism" in the visual arts, the French philosopher Diderot is supposedly to have said, "Art should not be a copy of reality; one of the damned things is enough!"
I saw an interview of Johnny Mathis in which Oprah Winfrey praised his talent; Mathis looked humble and embarrassed by the praise, and, after hesitating, replied, "it's a gift," crediting "God" I guess for that gift.
A frustrated "painter" who has quit and restarted to paint many times, I DO NOT have that "gift," and, look almost every day at the works of artists like Frederick Church and those who are/were truly "gifted".
The artist featured in Buzz's article is beyond gifted! Well beyond gifted … she has been blessed!
She seems to have a knack for photography as well as for her drawings, (though it's hard to know which of the posted photos are selfies and which might have been taken by others).
I guess an eye for detail works well in both mediums.
Here's a link to her " Instagram Account" .
Because her art is so life like she seems to differentiate most of her art post from her photo post by adding colored pencils to most of her drawings

This morning, good mood, thanks for the congratulations, friends!
Not only is she fantastically talented, she's gorgeous.
