This is not a photo. It’s an oil painting. Seriously.
I love this challenges standard perceptions. On first glance you assume this is a photo. Something so detailed and refined, so similar to a photograph, is a photograph. But when told it’s an oil painting you look for more. Not finding any signs of evidence or reason, you naturally assume a sense of what Arthur C. Clarke calls, magic.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
A quote better known for it’s association with Apple. I love how this art embodies that very same feeling, but through almost anti-technological innovations.
