You will soon be seeing a slideshow containing four pictures of four very beautiful women. You must look close and see if you can spot what is very unusual about them. I’m betting that very few people can tell what it is about these pictures that will boggle your mind. I know I was absolutely shocked when I found out. It is truly amazing.
Up next will be the slideshow and then I will reveal the secret of these pictures. Give it a fair chance. Study the pictures. Look for anything unusual. I will give you one hint. The thing that is unusual is the same in all four of the pictures.
So, now you have seen all four pictures. have you guessed the secret?
They are not photos at all. They are all paintings by photorealist artist Yigal Ozeri.
He specialises in producing incredible lifelike portraits, with no brushstrokes to be seen. Explaining his technique, Oddity Central reports, each shoot begins by photographing beautiful women, before altering the images in Photoshop.
Ozeri, an Israeli artist based in New York, then uses these prints as a reference point when he creates images with oil on canvas.
He told Young Masters: ‘I work on it in a free painting technique, whereas most photorealistic artists work on the far and the close with similar level of accuracy and assessment.
‘As a result in my paintings the space that is the background in my work is an abstract with a lot of movement and dynamics, in sharp contrast with the figure that is an exact representation of the reality.
‘My works celebrate nature in its glory, figures of young women in search of their life path, returning to nature and freedom both literally and figuratively.’
An exhibition of Ozeri’s work is being held at the Opera Gallery in New Bond Street, London between May 12 to May 25.
