After talking about my love for abstract and random art I want to tackle a topic that is quite the opposite.
Hyperrealism aka. Dont stop til its perfect.

Introducing myself to hyperrealism

I have been drawing, or at least trying to draw hyperrealistic for about 6 years now. When I was younger I was used to just draw from imagination which was rich and full of colors, different faces and fascinating patterns.
When I got older that imagination slowly faded away and I focused more on photography. I did that til I was 14 after I started to draw a photograph I had taken before.

I was more and more drawn to this style of art. I started to practise hyperrealism without knowing that it was called hyperrealism. I searched on google or on tumblr for suitable photographs. The pictures could be of ANYTHING. Crystals, hands, instruments, animals, you name it. I soon discovered my love for drawing women (=babes). And I didn´t stop til the drawing somewhat looked like the photo.

Eventually I started a youtube channel to share my artwork with a community:

Striving to achieve perfection

Hyperrealism to me means perfection. And its something about striving to achieve perfection that drives me crazy. It makes me obsessed, it makes me go to bed late, it makes me skip my meal, it satisfies me but it also frustrates me. This is the complete contrary to the experimental art I was talking about in my last post.

Hyperrealistic paintings always leave me flabbergasped! But there is also something so beautiful to paintings that are close to hyperrealism. Those alterations, those little flaws that make the painting look just a tiny bit different than the photograph are so nice to look at! Maybe because it reminds me that the artist is still human and makes mistakes like I do.

I think I am still far from hyperrealism but I will never stop practising and I am enjoying this journey too much to want to be at the end of it.
