I can’t stop ogling at these photorealistic oil paintings of cacti by Korean artist Kwongho Lee – probably because my brain hasn’t fully grasped the fact that they aren’t photographs. The details are shockingly realistic, it’s no wonder that Lee has spent countless hours experimenting with various techniques with his paintbrush and canvas. Honestly, wow.

  8. I am here trying to dissect the painting to see where I could detect a paint of brush stroke. This is truly talent beyond measure.
