At first glance, this is an ordinary photo of a grandmother holding her grandson in her arms. However, this is not the case at all. Here are hyperrealistic sculptures from an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao in Spain.

The exhibition "Hyperrealistic Sculptures" includes 34 works by 26 artists representing the current of hyperrealism in modern sculpture. It all started in the 60-70s of the XX century, when several sculptors became interested in a form of realism based on a naturalistic depiction of the human figure.

Such works require incredible skills from the artist not only in the field of sculpture, but also in painting and casting.
