]]>Hendry’s works are even more impressive when you know that art wasn’t exactly her calling early on. Originally she pursued degrees in architecture and finance while working in Chanel store to finance her studies. In 2013, however, Hendry decided to take a break from work and studies and do what she wants. It turned out that the thing she wanted to do was drawing.
Fast forward eight years, and Hendry is now a successful artist who has several exhibitions under her belt, with her color pencil drawings being part of art collections worldwide. Her calling card are grand-scale artworks that depict everyday objects, fashion items, thick swabs of paint, flower petals, and a lot more in an extremely detailed and lively manner.
In order to achieve the impressive hyper-realistic effect, the artist usually has to spend more than 200 hours making a single piece. But the final result makes it all worth it, as you can see for yourself below.

The message being, she explains: “if it upsets you so much to see me destroy this luxury item—an object—why does it not upset you to see a person being destroyed in life?”
Naturally, her dramatic portraits (sliced or not), haven’t gone unnoticed. With some 333k followers on Instagram alone, King has received recognition both online and offline, having won several awards for her hyperrealistic portrait paintings. Her paintings have also been the subject of solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums internationally, showcasing throughout Canada and the United States, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates. Her portraits are also found in both private and public collections worldwide including the MET’s publication collection.
According to King, her journey to becoming an artist doesn’t have a defined starting point. “I’ve been painting from before I could walk or talk,” she recalls. “While I was growing up you could see the art follow the lead of realism. My scratchy kid drawings started to become more refined the more I drew or painted. Hyperrealism was just the natural evolution of that refinement.”
Take a look at some of her incredible pieces in the gallery below, and follow her Instagram page for more.

Oosterlee took hyperrealism art to a whole new level. She is capable of recreating every little detail and imperfection onto canvas to an astonishing level that leaves the viewers in awe.
According to Oosterlee herself, the portraits she makes are “influenced by sea and nature,” and she is looking to “create awareness of all beauty around us” and show “how important it is to be good to our planet.”
For her works, Marissa Oosterlee has received multiple awards including the national Dutch painting competition. Check out more of them below.
