Hanging burger, you can't eat. Or a cake with cream and a cherry, or a cottage cheese dessert, or lollipops - and you won't eat either. Why? All of this is painted - not photographed by a Dutch artist named Tjalf Sparnaay, but not from nature, but thanks to the imagination. For years, people have replaced drawing with photography - it is more realistic, and faster, and more convenient. But until there were artists calling themselves mega-realists. They paint gigantic canvases, several times larger than the original, but so "real" that one can easily confuse, if not with the reflection of an object in a mirror, then with a photograph of excellent quality. Tjalf Sparnaay is one of those artists.
As you can see, he prefers to draw food: desserts, snacks, light breakfasts, pastries and other goodies, at the sight of which he begins to growl in his stomach and immediately wants to start a lunch break. It would be blasphemy to hang them in the offices of offices, but in the dining room of the huge house of wealthy people, or in the creatively decorated kitchen, they will have their very place.
Despite the fact that many artists work in the genre of hyperrealism, a variant of which is the favorite of our author, megarealism, paintings by Tjalf Sparney are readily purchased for private collections and galleries of contemporary art. Despite their impressive mega-value of 10,000 and even 40,000 euros. You can see all of the author's delicious paintings on his website.
