Oil Painting or Photo?

Joongwon (Charles) Jeong is a hyperrealist painter from South Korea. A freelance artist and illustrator, Jeong studied Visual Communication Design at the Hongik University of Fine Art & Design in Seoul.
Jeong’s preferred medium is acrylic on canvas which he says is so versatile and its effect ranges from “thick, oil-like texture to watercolour splashes.”





















Aristotle once said,
'A corpse is repulsive, but the painting of a corpse can be beautiful.'

And I say,
'A pimple is repulsive, but the painting of a pimple can be beautiful.'

It's the magic that keeps me practicing on hyper-realistic portraits!

























Lucius Annaeus Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher,statesman and dramatist. 
He was a tutor and advisor to emperor Nero, until he ran out of the tyrant's favour 
and was eventually ordered to take his own life. 
His death, which is notably famous for its dramatic quality along with that of Socrates', 
is recorded in detail by Tacitus.
