Iban Navarro combines egg tempera and watercolor to create his hyperrealistic paintings, which are impressive for much more than their resemblance to photographs. Navarro uses the magic of light, texture, and color to bring a scene of the mind to life. A magnetic element of the uncanny plays in Navarro’s work. The painting strongly resembles a photograph, but there are multiple moments happening; there is something here that transcends what a camera can do.

Pictured here with Brian Arthur’s blue heron.
