Thousands of years ago, art came into existence. It has become part of humans' day to day living. It became a vehicle in expressing human thoughts and emotions that are sometimes beyond words. As our world develops, the definition of art has evolved along with it. Uncountable artists have become part of our history and their influences were passed on from one generation to another.

In our growing world of creative minds, HYPERREALISM (visual art) is one of the talks of the town. It is a kind of art characterized by representation of real life. It is described as similar to high resolution photograph.

 A hyperrealist sculptor is now making a name in our era, Ronald "Ron" Mueck.  This amazing artist was born in Australia and is now a UK based sculptor. He began his career as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films. Then, he switched in fine arts in 1996.

His sculptures stand out from the rest because they are detailed inch by inch. They can replicate human expressions and actions. He works hour after hour to bring perfection to his artworks. He keenly chooses the appropriate color of the skin, texture of the hair, and patiently carves every crease in a man’s body.
His artworks have garnered different remarks. Many find them incredible and amusing and for some, they are eerie to look at. But one thing’s for sure, Ron’s artworks are one of kind.
Most pictures below will depict the different stages of human life, from a newly born baby, adolescent, adult to the latter part of life and even death. He created miniatures, life-size and gigantic sculptures. Look and be amazed!
