Hyper-realism has seen a remarkable surge in recent years. With this upward trend, we are seeing some truly talented artists come into the light and discovered by the world. Their creations are incredibly true to reality while also adding a certain painted charm that makes it look even more real than real (if such a thing is possible) and often fools our eyes. Enjoy this premium collection of hyper-realistic artists and their works. 
 

Italian Artists Marcello Barenghi can create the most astoundingly realistic-looking hand drawings. Amazingly, at the age of 9, he was so impressed with Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Mona Lisa”, that he tried to reproduce it on his own. Using water paint, colored pencils, air-brushes, and more. His art is often indistinguishable from photographs, thanks to his attention to details.

The young African artist Enam Bosokah has the amazing ability to create hyper-realistic portraits with nothing but a regular pen! Enam continues to amaze the world with his majestic works that teach us something: To create art, the only elements really necessary are passion, creativity, and talent. He obviously has all 3, as his paintings almost seem to come alive.

Photo-realism is an art movement that astounds and humbles me. The sheer skill and patience it requires to make paintings that are so life-like, so much like a real photograph, is mind-blowing. All the paintings you are about to see were drawn, not by a computer, but by the hands of talented artists, able to re-create reality with nothing but brush strokes and an artist's eye. Wonderful.

Andrey Poletaev is a self-taught artist who specializes in ballpoint pen art and graphics. His work is technically complex and predominantly focuses on cityscapes. This art form is incredibly difficult to master, as mistakes are permanent. The complex detail found in cityscapes also makes them incredibly time-consuming to complete. Nevertheless, the effect created when using ink in this way is nothing short of stunning when executed correctly. Take a look at Andrey's impressive works of art.

Emanuele Dascanio is a young artist - he was born in 1983 and graduated from art school Lucio Fontana Di Arese in Italy, in 2003.

As you're about to see, the details in his drawings look incredibly real. Let's take a look at some of his fascinating work.

It is incredible to think of how talented some artists are. When I came across the wonderful drawings of Paul Lung I was tricked into thinking that these images were black and white photographs.
