Hyper-What-Now?

Would you believe me if I told you that these pictures are actually paintings...not photographs? Well they are indeed paintings. Amazing aren't they? They are by hyperrealistic still life artist Roberto Bernardi who started working in oils in the 1980's. He has also worked as a church art restorer and painted landscapes and portraits before moving in to hyperrealism. I imagine that these paintings are far more impressive in real life as photos can't possibly do them justice.
