Although these pictures look like
ordinary photographs of fruits and mundane objects, don�t be fooled �
they are oil paintings on canvas made by young artist Ruddy Taveras from
the Dominican Republic.
Taveras, who is 29 years old, joined the National School of Fine Arts
in Santo Domingo ten years ago. In 2008, he decided to devote himself
to hyperrealism with the aim to capture reality more accurately and
objectively than a photograph. Taveras has already produced many
still-lifes and has participated in numerous local and national painting
competitions.
