Portraits of women in a series of hyperrealist paintings

Artists Marco Grassi from Italy and Dirk Dzimirsky from Germany depict women with natural, captivating beauty in a series of hyperrealist works.

Marco Grassi, 60, is a prominent figure in hyperrealism. His paintings meticulously capture the skin, eyes, hair, and lips of his models. Taglialatella galleries note that his art harmoniously blends classical and modern aesthetics.

Grassi often employs high-contrast colors and refined processing techniques to add depth to his subjects' faces. The women in his portraits are particularly captivating due to their pensive eyes.

Grassi has exhibited his work in major shows across Italy, Switzerland, and other international venues. Some of his paintings have fetched between 22,000 USD and 24,000 USD.

German artist Dirk Dzimirsky, 57, predominantly works with graphite. His detailed pieces avoid mechanical reproduction, instead delving into the emotions and inner states of his subjects. Faces are often central, dominating the composition, marked by quiet, contemplative eyes.

Nordart reports that Dzimirsky emphasizes shadows, skin texture, and minute details to convey emotion. Beyond portraits, he also creates nude paintings.

Dzimirsky's work has been exhibited in the US, Europe, and Asia. A 48×32 cm graphite drawing once sold for 9,000 USD, with his oil paintings typically fetching higher prices.

British artist Kelvin Okafor, 41, also creates hyperrealist graphite portraits. His work has been featured in many prestigious exhibitions, and he has specialized in graphite for nearly 30 years.

Okafor frequently paints celebrities. His portrait of "black panther" Naomi Campbell captures her with a sharp face and keen eyes.

One of Okafor's works depicts supermodel Kate Moss. In 2022, this painting was valued at approximately 13,600 USD to 20,400 USD.

Artdots highlights Italian artist Elisa Anfuso, 44, who frequently portrays young women in dreamlike, ambiguous settings. These works aim to evoke feelings of loneliness and childhood memories.

Her subjects often pose with props such as lollipops, whimsical hairbands, and floral wreaths.

Anfuso gained international recognition early, winning the prestigious Arte Laguna Prize in Italy in 2010. Her works are typically sold through high-end galleries, fetching tens of thousands of USD.
