41-year-old Russian Slava Groshev uses photographs to help create stunningly beautiful paintings of young women. Crisp, vibrant and sharp, Slava's figurative work is so realistic-looking that you could easily be fooled into thinking that he uses digital photography in its creation, but this is not the case. All his paintings are, in fact, created with the old-fashioned paint brush and not digital computer software.
This artist is an amazing find, thanks for sharing him.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! They look stunning, i'm glad you posted these -- i want to look at more of his work.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and I'm especially impressed with the hands; so realistic.
ReplyDeleteOH! Those are amazing! How talented must he be to have them be so perfect! Thanks for sharing, John!
ReplyDeleteHe is amazing!! I hope you and yours has a blessed Christmas and happy new year!!
ReplyDeleteStunning is the right word here, John! They really look like photos. I love the first one, it conveys so well how we feel when absorbed in a good read. Plus I have always loved tartans and checks, and so the woman's dress is something that could be found in my wardrobe, too.
ReplyDeleteI am totally lost in admiration for anyone with the level of skill and imagination needed to give paintings that technical ability and that much soul as well.
ReplyDeleteHis paintings are so realistic.....absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteI had to reread your words to make sure that you said they were actually paintings....using the good old paint and paintbrush method.
Gorgeous! I'm more drawn to the ones that look like folks from a long time ago. What talent!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to wish you a Happy Christmas in the last comment.
ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings. I'm still not sure if the last one is a painting or the painter. If it's a painting, I LOVE it! Have a wonderful Christmas with all your family. Hope the weather improves. I hear it has been terrible. No more like that to come I hope!
