Artists can wield all sorts of magic on canvas. Italian painter Marco Grassi is one such brilliant artist who creates incredibly realistic paintings that can be mistaken as real photographs. No kidding! These are not real photographs, but remarkable paintings that balance on a very thin line between hyperrealism and surrealism.

Even from the closet look, you’d not be able to figure out that these are made with paints. This is all thanks to the unconventional details that give such realistic character to these works of art. We wonder how much time and dedication are required to make a painting with such finest detailing.

Some of the subjects look like half-human and half-statues, while others are dressed in vibrant clothing along with futuristic jewellery. But all of them are so convincing that it will literally blow your mind. You got to see how skillfully Grassi creates a variety of textures on these portraits.
