Incredibly Realistic Paintings By Mike Dargas

ADVERTISEMENT

Mike Dargas is an incredible hyper-realist German artist using a fascinating technique.

“I have never studied at an art school, I just started painting at the age of 3. My mother told me, she noticed my artistic talent very early, when I drew my first sketches. After kindergarten I started using oil colors. I guess I was 7 or 8 years old when the first piece was sold to a friend of the family”, Mark Dargas told Bored Panda.

“Later I had my own tattoo studio for 14 years to do my living until I decided to become an artist. Today I paint large realistic portraits in oil. I love to work on light reflections and color grading and use photographic characteristics to underline the realistic effect”.

Beautiful work. The best artists don't need school, they figure the best techniques on their own. Everything works different for everyone, so if you have to go to school, you're only learning what works for others, who figured it out for themselves. It could work for some, but the best don't need it. I would love to be able to capture this type of realness!
