The artist uses a simple pencil to create paintings that are almost indistinguishable from black and white photographs.
The talented 22-year-old artist showcases his work on Deviant Art. Of course, most skeptical critics immediately accused Diego Fazo of being in fact photographs.

Like many naturally gifted artists, Diego is self-taught and has spent several years mastering the technique of creating photorealistic paintings.

Diego Fazo admits that he is characterized by an oriental drawing technique, because he draws inspiration from the works of such Japanese artists as Edo and Katsushika Hokusai.
