Mike Dargas, Cologne-based artist, is one of the most recent names in the art scene due to his extraordinary hyper realistic paintings.
Inspired by Dali, Caravaggio and HR Giga Mike Dargas begins to focus on surrealism and realism. His works show the picture of people, painted realistically in oil on canvas. The precise technique gives, like photography, a snapshot of the moment.
Mike portrays young and old, beautiful and dark, fragile and strong people. They are lost in thoughts, show inner conflicts or transmit a unique and sometimes even holy calmness.
