Photorealism is a style of painting in which the artist strives to create an image that is as realistic as a photograph. However, there are a variety of terms that can be used to describe this style of art, including hyperrealism, superrealism, and sharp-focus realism. These terms all describe a style of painting that focuses on creating images that are incredibly detailed, with great attention paid to light, shadow, and texture. Other synonyms for photorealism might include ultra-realism, high-definition painting, and trompe-l'oeil. Regardless of the term used, photorealistic paintings are often incredibly lifelike, blurring the line between art and reality.
