Paintings are probably the best thing to look at. Aren’t they? From Picasso to Van Gogh, they all provided food for eyes. However, we are long past those days. In this era of post-modernity, have you ever come close to anything so realistic that it compels you to believe it’s real? Yeah I am still talking about paintings. Or should I say realistic paintings. I bring to you, the realistic paintings of an artist that makes you think those are all photos. Don’t believe me? Get ready to get shook.

This Mexico based artist named Kamalky Laureano creates such realistic paintings that make people think otherwise. It becomes a real challenge for people to understand whether it’s paintings or photos. To quote the artist, he likes to create “intrinsic patterns” in his paintings. This gives his masterpieces such realistic effect that people take them as photos.
