You Won't Believe These Are Oil Paintings

These Aren't Selfies. They're Oil Paintings.

Eloy Morales, a renowned Spanish painter, put paint on his face and clicked a couple of pictures.

At first look, the series of pictures look like the aftermath of an explosion in a paint factory.

But, it isn't. They are actually oil paintings that the artist have created. Yes, you read that right. OIL PAINTINGS.

The Madrid-based artist, Eloy Morales, is a hyperrealist painter who first began experimenting with paint at the age of four, and his works have since been exhibited across the world.

Hyperrealism is a genre of painting and sculpture resembling high-resolution photographs that became popular in Europe in the early 2000s.

The Spanish artist had created the series last year.

In an interview to Daily Mail earlier, Morales said, "'It's a conceptual self-portrait, a reflection of my complex relationship with paint."
