You may have seen many great hyper-realistic paintings before, but trust us when we say this – paintings rarely get any more realistic than the ones you are about to see. These ultra-realistic artworks are the creation of Emel Espiritu, a self-taught artist from Munoz, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
Emel feels he has a natural gift for making such detailed photo-realistic artworks. He discovered his talent when he was just a kid and soon began drawing as a hobby. It took him a lot of time to master the art of hyperrealism, but now he’s got a good hang of it. Emel takes about 1-2 months to create each of his detailed artwork, and the results are truly awe-inspiring.
Scroll down and marvel at these incredible paintings.
