Hiperreál

Hiperreál is a term used to describe art that seeks to achieve a level of realism beyond what is typically perceived as photographic. It often involves an obsessive attention to detail, textures, and surfaces, resulting in images that can appear hyper-detailed or even surreal. Unlike traditional photorealism, which aims to mimic a photograph, hiperreál pushes the boundaries of representation, sometimes emphasizing certain aspects or colors to create a heightened sense of reality.

The movement gained traction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with artists exploring various media including painting, sculpture, and digital art. Hiperreál artists often work from photographs but manipulate them to amplify specific qualities or to create a dreamlike or uncanny effect. The subject matter can range from everyday objects and urban landscapes to portraits, all rendered with an extraordinary degree of precision. The term itself suggests an elevation or intensification of reality, where the artwork becomes more "real" than the reality it depicts. This can lead to a disorienting experience for the viewer, challenging their perception of what constitutes visual truth.
