Kamalky Laureano is a 35-year-old mega talented artist based in Mexico City whose paintings are easily confused with photographs.

The Dominican-born painter is best known for his hyperrealistic paintings; he puts so much attention into details that is hard to believe it is a painting done on canvas, and not a real life photo. Freckles, pores, and skin texture; they are all done perfectly and with so much precise.

“I like to create intrinsic patterns, controlled explosions of matter shaped until I’m happy.” – the artist wrote on his social media.

Laureano shares his work on his Instagram account where he has almost 80k admirers and thousands of likes on each post.
