Marco Grassi Paintings are not your everyday paintings. They are not caricatures of real people neither are they badly imitated images of icons or popular faces.
Looking at his works at first, you’d be convinced they are models looking dreaming into space as models always usually pose. On a second look and if pointed out, you might think its high definition photograph or a photoshopped image because of the glowing tattoos and the artistic curves Grassi put in, which has become his signature. It takes seeing the actual picture to know the truth.
Grassi is an Italian artist who is in love with perfection. His painting of women are notable for the detailing of every part of the human body – fine hair lines, skin pores, freckles, body hairs, even lip lines!
This type of art is known as hyperrealism. Hyperrealism is an art movement that focuses on producing paintings and sculptured that have a strong semblance with high definition cameras.
