These 15 Artists Will Make You Doubt What Your Eyes See

The skill of some artists transcends all boundaries. They paint with anything: oils, acrylics, charcoal, ballpoint pens or a simple pencil - but their work is indistinguishable from photographs. Considerable perseverance and talent of the authors make these works something more than just photocopies. They contain life, the vision of the artist, emotions and the illusion of the world in which we live.

We have collected 15 artists, looking at the work of which we literally can not believe our eyes.

It's hard to believe that the "sweet" still lifes of Roberto Bernardi are not filmed. Each still life with amazing accuracy conveys reflections on the glossy surface of the table, folds and highlights.

The author's only tool is a slate pencil. It turns out that it is quite enough to accurately convey every line, wrinkle or emotion. There is no doubt about the genius of the author.

11. Thomas Arvid (© nevsepic)

Thomas has no formal education. Having gained mastery in his own system of education, the artist came to his theme - the theme of wine. This is how Thomas Arvid's Wine Cellar was born, a series of works depicting bottles, corks, corkscrews and glasses of sparkling drinks.

12. Brian Drury (© mdig)

The American artist graduated from the New York Academy of Art in 2007 and has been working in realism ever since. The winner of many prestigious awards in the US and Europe, Drury focuses on the organic qualities of the skin and shows the side of a person that is so often hidden from us.
