Johannes Wessmark is an artist who devotes himself to photorealistic painting, an artistic specialty that is relatively rare in Sweden. Until a few years ago, he had his main collaborations with galleries abroad. Using a combination of acrylic and oil, he creates works that achieve an impressive degree of photorealism and cover a wide range of subjects, including still life, nature scenes, model painting and portraiture. Wessmark's artistry has been recognized internationally for his ability to capture detail in a way that seems almost supernatural.
