Philipp Weber is a talented artist who paints realistic portraits of women in traditional magazine poses. The artist, who lives and works in Kassel and Berlin, Germany, looks for inner truth so instead of bringing empty perfection to life, he portraits their minor imperfections and their deep human stories—whether that be the sadness in their eyes or wounds on their faces.

Weber’s artistic journey began when he was just a 3-year-old boy and since then, he hasn’t lost his path. Through the years, you can see a clear artistic progression in his works. His inspiration comes from books, movies, fellow artists, other creative people, and people’s personal stories about their lives: the stories that reveal their dreams and aspirations that are beyond fancy faces and flawless skin.

“Philipp started painting when he was 3 years old as a present to give his mum and grandmother to make them happy and smile. He says that he cannot imagine his life without painting. When he was a high school student, he painted portraits that he sold to people directly and made enough money to buy a small car,” says Philipp’s business manager Kiki Kim to Bored Panda.

“Philipp studied his Master’s degree at Berlin University of the Arts and he has always been interested in realistic or super-realistic art, regardless of what stage of his career he has been in, as he believes that his viewers can engage with his paintings the best with a super-realistic art form.”

I take photographs that look amazingly like hyper-realistic paintings. It’s a lot less work.
I understand the technical skill involved here, but I don't understand some artists (and many non-artists) obsession with photorealism in fine art. Painting, drawing, sculpture, etc. can express so much more than just copying photography. Also...Maybe apply those mad skills to painting something you cannot photograph, and something other than stereotypically beautiful women...
If I could paint that well I would paint things that you couldn't see in real life. Like the things from dreams, I could paint myself or other people with wings or just make beautiful creatures that don't exist. That is real art.
Are we really judging how someone expresses their art??
Dianna it’s almost as if he’s not making art for you 🤷🏻♀️ Move along then. If you’re “revolted” at paintings of women, yikes. Btw revolted is a feeling so he accomplished your narrow view of art no?
Yes. I'm in utter awe at his ability, and almost revolted at the subject matter. Art is supposed to make you feel, but judging from the work's titles I felt something very different from what was intended.
Talent like this is hard to wrap your brain around! Quite incredible.
This guy has great skills! But let's not confuse skills with (artistic) talent.
Pusfarm, I'm not being bitter at all. I really appreciate his skills, and he's definitely a much better painter than I am. But skill is something one can learn, while talent takes much more than that.
Gin has a point ,though i understand that non-artists cannot understand it. Making a copy of a photograph (which is what he does, he does a photoshoot and then copies the photographs into paintings) , is a SKILL. not an art. art is when you put your emotions out, either on paper, on canvas, in music or words...
So I guess you're saying that he paints better than you. No need to be bitter. I think the talent transcends the skill in this case. But using your "logic," those are the most skillful, no-talent paintings I've ever seen. Imagine what he could do with talent.
