Paco PometLocation: Granada Spain Born: 1970 in Granada, Spain Education: University of Granada and New York School of Visual Arts Material: Surreal oil paintings based on old photographs Website: pacopomet.es/en/ Paco Pomet's work inspires me because of the way he can replicate old photographs using oil painting and then add his own creative details to them. They seem so realistic and I had to look at some of them twice to see that they weren't photographs. I am also drawn in by the originality of the surreal details of that Pomet adds to the paintings. Sometimes the addition will be as subtle as a hat and a speech bubble on a duck or something out of place in the background or it may be as distinct as an oddly colored body of water or an elongated body part.
