There are artists who have a great technical quality and a special hand to take advantage of how difficult the oil technique to be able to represent certain quite striking ideas. Among these painters there are some who are not among the most popular, but this does not mean that we should not take them into account, as happens with István Sándorfi.
A painter with a great oil mastery and that in each brushstroke a sure and firm line can be found to represent hyper-realistic works like the one that concerns us in this afternoon of rain and gray clouds that devastate our feelings. Sandorfi plays to evaporate certain parts of the human body as happens in the header image of a sublime quality.
A beautiful job who does this Hungarian painter who lived most of his life in France and left us in 2007. A painter with his things and vicissitudes as indicated by his biography in which he shows how for many years he was portraying himself as the presence of others bothered him while working on his works. We are not going to say anything about how special many artists are.
Since 1988 he began to paint only female figures wrapped in sheets and in which he sometimes placed next to rare objects. An artist who considered himself self-taught, even though he had gone through two renowned institutes. Art critics have placed Sándorfi among the hyper-realistic artists, which happens that he never considered himself as one, since, in his works, although they were very meticulous, there were always intentional flaws, as we can see in the header work .
Un great painter that we bring along these lines to discover some of his excellent works in hyperrealism and with that exquisite treatment of his muses, mainly one of his daughters.
The oil of another self-taught.
