Brazilian artist Fabiano Millani specializes in hyperrealistic oil paintings that look almost indistinguishable from high-definition photos.

We’ve featured quite a number of extremely talented hyperrealist artists on Oddity Central over the last 15 years, but there is no doubt that Fabiano Millani is right up there with the best of them. The São Paulo-born artist, who was raised in the Rio Grande do Sul, has become famous for his oil paintings that imitate real life so well that they are often mistaken for photographs. It’s actually hard to believe that he only started making art professionally at age 18, after taking an artistic course. Today he is regarded as a remarkable figure of the hyper-realist painting community.

“My interest in art arose through observation. I always enjoyed scribbling while waiting for something or even during classes. It was something intuitive that emerged little by little and ended up becoming indispensable in my daily life,” Fabiano told Magzoid.

Although his entire portfolio is truly impressive, Fabiano Millani is best known for his series of feminine portraits with honey and milk dripping down their faces. These amazing pieces have earned him praise both from the general public and his fellow artists who recognized his immense talent.

When he isn’t busy painting at his studio in Santo Ângelo, Brazil, Fabiano Millani is conducting workshops all over the world and bringing up the next generation of hyper-realism.
