Transcendent Hyper-Realistic Paintings by Marco Grassi

Marco Grassi is an Italian painter whose work explores themes of transformation, nature and fragility in hyper-realistic detail.

Growing up in an environment rich in fine arts and historical artifacts, Marco was deeply influenced by the old masters’ paintings and Chinese pottery collected by his grandfather. His work is characterized by extreme realism with meticulous attention to small, fine details that compel viewers to pause and engage with his paintings. A significant aspect of his technique is his modern adaptation of ‘sfumato,’ a method perfected during the Renaissance which involves the delicate blending of colors and tones to achieve soft transitions without harsh lines or borders.

Marco’s artistic exploration delves into the themes of human transformation, the relationship between humans and nature, and the fragile balance that exists within this dynamic. His fascination with the changes in a person’s body and personality often leads him to portray individuals in moments of metamorphosis.
