Polishing up my Russian, I was able to determine that no [image manipulating software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blendbox-revolutionizes-ai-art) was used to make these pieces of art.

A Chinese painter simply used his eye and [art ability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) to make the subjects seem to fade into the background of his photographs... just like me when I get caught checking out the chicks at Ruby Tuesday.

With regards to the source link, no I don't speak Russian. Not Nyet!

**Implications** - XX

What I can do however is translate just how talented this Chinese painter really is. However, a simple look through any or all of his work could probably tell you that as well. I would love to have any of these [painted models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining) chilling in my own house!
