The paradoxes of the real in painting are revealed at the moment when an image begins to appear more convincing than reality itself. In the case of photorealism and hyperrealism, the situation becomes even more complex. The boundaries blur to such an extent that the detail and illusion of the image surpass even the photograph that serves as its primary source. At certain moments, the viewer catches themselves believing what they see—but is it really true?

Answers to these questions can be found in the fascinating world where photography merges with painting and with reality itself.
