Discussion
i’m curious what your thoughts are. what is the philosophy behind hyperrealism? as in, why not just take a photo of the plum? is the goal and complete technical understanding and mastery of the exact visual elements of some image, or is it something more? amazing work by the way (as usual).
It’s personal. It’s about challenging myself in what I am able to accomplish. I do it because I like doing it and want to get better at it. There’s a vague goal in the distance, the feeling that I’m working towards something. Maybe add something to the state of the art, I don’t know.
In terms of selling my work, I do not know what makes others like it. I can just throw it into the ether and hope somebody sees it and wants to buy it.
