Photo-realistic Paintings by Yigal Ozeri

Yigal Ozeri was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, but lives and works in New York. Ozeri is acclaimed for his hyper-realistic large-scale cinematic portraits of young woman together or alone often naked or semi-naked in lush landscapes under expansive skies.
Ozeri first shoots photographs of his models and digitally works on them in his computer using Photoshop. Then he prints the photos and uses them as a guide to paint with oil on large canvas.
You wouldn’t know these are paintings would you?
