Realist Portrait Paintings
REALIST STYLE
Realist art attempts to portray its subject matter without artifice. Similar to naturalism, authentic realist paintings and prints see an integration of true-to-life colors, meticulous detail and linear perspectives for accurate portrayals of the world.
Work that involves illusionistic techniques of realism dates back to the classical world, such as the deceptive trompe l’oeil used since ancient Greece. Art like this became especially popular in the 17th century when Dutch artists like Evert Collier painted objects that appeared real enough to touch. Realism as an artistic movement, however, usually refers to 19th-century French realist artists such as Honoré Daumier exploring social and political issues in biting lithographic prints, while the likes of Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet painting people — particularly the working class — with all their imperfections, navigating everyday urban life. This was a response to the dominant academic art tradition that favored grand paintings of myth and history.
By the turn of the 20th century, European artists, such as the Pre-Raphaelites, were experimenting with nearly photographic realism in their work, as seen in the attention to every botanical attribute of the flowers surrounding the drowned Ophelia painted by English artist John Everett Millais.
Although abstraction was the guiding style of 20th-century art, the realism trend in American modern art endured in Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth and other artists’ depictions of the complexities of the human experience. In the late 1960s, Photorealism emerged with artists like Chuck Close and Richard Estes giving their paintings the precision of a frame of film.
Contemporary artists such as Jordan Casteel, LaToya Ruby Frazier and Aliza Nisenbaum are now using the unvarnished realist approach for honest representations of people and their worlds. Alongside traditional mediums, technology such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and immersive installations are helping artists create new sensations of realism in art.

Delightful Soul
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
There is a moment when all we need is one person always there to put a smile on our faces, lighten up our hearts, set our path for the greater good, and believe in us.
Delightful Soul encompasses how important and impactful it is to have a shadow-like friendship, one’s shadow sticks together. No matter how tough it might get, how rough the road may be, how distorted one’s feelings are, and how unbalanced the world around one is.
What keeps one going is the opportunity to have a good friend, a companion, an amazing shadow that keeps a person uptight, makes one feel things will get better soon, and that one friend that serves as an agent of laughter to the soul.
How delightful one mind is to have a source of happiness

HECHIZO..GOYO DOMINQUEZ contemporary Spanish Artist
Located in Pollenca, Illes Baleares
Portrait of Goyo Domínguez
Impressed by the magic in the painting
As a child, Goyo Domínguez felt a powerful and magical attraction for painting. In his village he observed a lady painting a hill and was impressed by the colors that, placed on the canvas, seemed more luminous and real than the hill itself. Due to this event nature, the human body and landscapes are the themes used by Goyo Domínguez.
Opposites united in a canvas
Goyo mainly uses acrylic in his works, whose main characteristic is the harmonious coexistence of the figurative and the abstract in the same subject. Look for beauty, but not through classical proportions. His figures do not exist in a space that imitates reality, but they are related to the pictorial plasticity of the environment.
Great achievements and recognitions
The works of Goyo Domínguez were exclusively for the gallery of the art dealer Sam Benady in Spain. He has received numerous commissions for the Vatican and obtained the first medal in the Madrid Autumn Salon. It is recognized by Spanish royalty...
