Hyperrealistic Paintings That Look Like 3D Parcels Floating Off A Wall





Viewed from afar, Swedish artist Yrjö Edelmann’s artworks look like beautiful but hastily-wrapped parcels displayed against a wall.



But take a step closer, and you’ll realize that they are, in reality, just one-dimensional oil paintings.



He painstakingly renders each crease, tear and paper texture as realistically as possible, and the trompe l’oeil effect created is where his talent and genius lies.



Check out his artworks below.
