Often, artists or photographers make projects in which they look at the life of the same person over a period of time. But no one has yet reflected the life of not a person, but a specific part of his body. Until there was a series of paintings by South Korean artist Sung Jin Kim, telling specifically about the lips.
Sung Jin Kim's paintings are so realistic that when you look at them, they seem to be photographs. Only by certain traits that are not very noticeable at first glance, the viewer understands that this is still painting.
No wonder the artist himself claims that he works in a style called "hyperrealism". So his paintings look much more realistic than photographs.
The protagonist of Sun Jin Kim's series of paintings is not a person, but only a part of a person. And, specifically, his lips. So one can imagine that these works depict an ordinary day in the life of this picturesque part of the human body.
Lips, like a person himself, can have their own mood, their own problems, joyful and sad moments in life. This is what the artist tried to convey in his paintings.
And, of course, the most breathtaking, most beautiful and attention-grabbing painting depicts the moment of the kiss!
Of course, in terms of expressiveness and beauty, lips can hardly be compared with any other human organ. Perhaps the eyes. But we still expect from Sun Jin Kim a new series of paintings about the life of various parts of the human body. After all, with his lips, obviously, everything succeeded!

Eyes lips, kiwi lips, strawberry lips. Lip Art Disguise by Sandra Holmbom
Experimenting with makeup, inventing and embodying various images, highlighting dignity with cosmetics and hiding flaws is the very skill that every girl seeks to achieve. And the same talent that Sandra Holmbom from Sweden can be proud of, who has never studied makeup specifically, but achieved everything on her own. The girl loves cosmetics, in particular, decorative cosmetics for lips, and with her help makes a breathtaking "art disguise"
Sweet lips, delicious lips
No one will argue with the fact that the most amazing work of art on our earth is a man? This is probably why many artists take the human body "into the development", where they create, like on a canvas, a sheet of paper or a graphic tablet
Stroke Drawings by Sung Jin Kim
South Korean artist Sung Jin Kim presented a series of black and white paintings, each of which consists of a huge number of short ink strokes on a light canvas. However, it is worth looking at the images from afar, and chaotically scattered squiggles merge into expressive portraits
