Each of us many times at different moments of life dreamed of slightly changing reality at our own discretion, improving it, making it more interesting, correcting only one small thing. We dream about it, and photographer Dan Escobar does it all the time. Moreover, he not only mastered graphic editors like Photoshop well, he elevated his possession of them into art!
It would seem that it is enough to change the image of our world just a little, and it will seem more interesting, colorful, full-fledged. True, one must have imagination and the ability to do this.
And these skills lie not only in mastering the basics of Photoshop. After all, in painting there are painters, and there are artists. Dan Escobar is a Photoshop artist. Moreover, a pretty good artist. Otherwise, he would be called to develop the concepts of their advertisements and implement them by such major world companies as Motorola, American Express, DHL, Microsoft, Adidas, Yahoo, Adobe and so on?
Dan Escobar's photographs depict moments of reality, turned into unreality by his delightful fantasy. For several millennia, philosophers have been discussing how human thought affects the world, and Escobar perfectly shows this with his own eyes.

Realistic about the unreal. Scary real sculptures by Patricia Piccinini
Realistic looking sculptures are nothing new in the art world. And Madame Tussaud's wax figures are from the last century. Nowadays it is fashionable to use modern biomaterials and silicone, so that the sculptures would not look like mannequins, but like living people who seemed to have stopped for a moment, thinking about something of their own, and are about to wake up and continue their journey. The works of the Australian sculptor Patricia Piccinini are also "real"
Unreal stairs from the duo Lang Baumann
