Sometimes art just grabs you. Though you may be drawn to a particular technique or medium, there’s that occasional piece that jumps out at you. You don’t always know what it is, but you’re hooked. Jantina Peperkamp is an artist that creates those type of pieces.

Peperkamp is a Dutch artist who is becoming known for her photorealism paintings. Her subjects come to life on the canvas. By staring into the eyes of one of these subjects, you might forget that you are looking at a painting in the first place and not staring into the soul of another human being.
