Trust me when I say this – all is not as it seems with the paint
covered faces below. You might not think it when looking at the first
four pictures, but what you’re looking at is actually one of the most
incredible things I’ve seen in a long time. Mind-blowing art in fact.
Check this out.
You’re probably wondering what is so impressive about
someone covering his face in paint.

…Whoa! Yep, those previous pictures were not photos of a man with paint
on his face, but they were actually incredible hyperrealistic oil
paintings (of a man with paint on his face).

These incredibly photorealistic self-portraits are the work of Spanish
painter Eloy Morales. Eloy is one of the best hyperrealistic painters in
the world, not only are his paintings photographic in quality but they
possess a kind of life to them. Tricking the viewer into thinking they
are actually looking at photographs.
