Feast your eyes on these amazing paintings by hyper-realist artist Tom Martin from Rotherham, England. They look so good that at first glance you could bet they are photographed pictures of delicious food.
As you can probably imagine, creating this kind of realistic depictions take a great deal of time and patience. Tom Martin spends around two months painstakingly working on a single one of his pieces in his quest to depict what is real to the best of his abilities. Not surprising, each piece sells for as high as £17000 ($25000) or a whooping N3, 938, 000....
Most of his works focus on food, but you might notice there aren’t any greasy burgers and pizzas displayed in his paintings. “I focus on food and its content because it plays a very big part in my life at the moment,” the artist explains.
“I am a keen fitness enthusiast and along with that comes a healthy diet and the science of learning how your body uses carbohydrates and proteins.”
You will however find bowls of delicious-looking fruit cereal, toast and marmalade, and even small guilty pleasures like waffles and ice-cream.
