Hyperrealistic Oil Painting

《艺术 | 确定这不是拍的？》

Anna Halldin Maule是一位瑞典艺术家，她的油画作品往往创作数月，画布上能看到一层层厚厚的颜料，一旦完工实则让人惊叹不已，宛如高精度的照片，一时间真假难辨。
Swedish artist Anna Halldin Maule spends several months glazing layer upon layer of oil paint to create these stunning works of art that can easily pass for high-resolution photographs to the untrained eye.

生于瑞典哥德堡的她，自小就喜欢绘画。当年知名的艺术家Bror Halladin是她的祖父，为此在那位名师的精心调教下，不断磨练着她的绘画技巧。如今，她成为了一名超写实主义者，一位享誉盛名的画家之一。她喜欢用柔和的颜料进行调色，通过反复润色与修整，将人文色彩完美的复刻了下来。因此，她的佳作常常被混淆，而纳入摄影范畴。
Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, Anna took an interest in painting at a very young age, honing her skills under the guidance of her grandfather, celebrated artist Bror Halladin. Today, she is one of the world’s most respected hyper-realist painters and looking at her breathtaking work, it’s easy to see why. Although she works with a limited palette of toned-down and muted colors, Halladin Maule is able to replicate human features so well, that her oil paintings often pass for photographs.

这些惟妙惟肖的作品均由手绘完成，按照她的话来说，并未使用喷色技法，也没有在放大的照片上描绘，则是实打实的直接在空白画布上创作完成。
Anna’s works are so realistic-looking that she often has to mention that they are all done by hand, with no airbrushing involved, and that the painting is done on blank canvases, not on top of enlarged photographs.

当然，创作前期摄影环节必不可少，在她摄影师丈夫Tom Maule的协助下，先找寻专业模特进行拍摄，随后从多张摄影作品中挑选出最适宜她绘画的照片作为参考素材。
Photography does play a big part in the artistic process, though, as her paintings are based on photographs taken by her husband, acclaimed photographer Tom Maule. They do photo shoots with professional models and the artist than picks the best photos as references for her paintings.

根据画幅大小和复杂难易度来看，创作一幅画她往往需要花费2-4个月的时间。“通过绘画，我期望能映射出女性坚强的一面，不仅深感自豪，也温文尔雅，” Anna Halldin Maule诠释道：“在现代社会下，有时候，女性还会呈现出那种努力奋斗、挣扎不息的一面，所以在我的部分作品中也尽量传达这一点。”
Depending on the size and complexity of the painting, Anna says that it usually takes her between 2 and 4 months to complete a single work. “I want the paintings to feature the women as strong and proud and elegant,” Anna Halldin Maule says about the message of her art. “And sometimes there’s a struggle for women in modern society and some of my paintings feature that.”
