Portraits painting of Japanese women by Japanese artist Yasutomo Oka.
Yasutomo Oka was born in the Aichi prefecture, Japan in 1983 and graduated from Tama Art University in 2006. He is so successful in hyperrealism that his paintings can’t be distinguished from photographs.
Oka, a 43-year-old artist from Aichi Prefecture, Japan, can paint incredibly realistic portraits that people often confuse with either real-life photography or a picture created using Computer-Generated Imagery.
in each portrait the eyes feature lifelike glints and reflections, making them appear convincingly real.
Taking around one month to complete each oil painting portrait, Oka uses real life models as the starting point for each piece, but often “idealizes” them as he paints. Some women are depicted wearing traditional kimonos and floral hair ornaments, against ornately-patterned wallpaper.
