Hauntingly Realistic Paintings

These Portraits by Ruben Belloso Adoma are Incredibly Detailed

— July 21, 2013 — Art & Design
These shockingly realistic painted portraits are the handy work of talented artist Ruben Belloso Adorna. Each of these stunning paintings captures a different individual in incredible detail, making it hard to believe that it's in fact a painting.

Adorna manages to capture every little detail in these stunning portraits, from wrinkles in an old man's forehead to flecks of color in someone's eye. The artist paints a variety of different individuals, including young women and old men (each belonging to a different ethnicity). Some of these pictures capture Adorna touching up his impressively realistic works. One of these painted portraits portrays a women crying, with mascara lines running down the sides of her cheeks. Another depicts an older gentleman, who is shirtless and covered in tattoos.

Each painting tells a different, but intriguing story that draws the viewer in.
