“My whole work deals with the relationship between man and Nature, in particular with animals and plants. The focus of my observation is body with its mutations. My intention is to explore the infinite possibilities of life, in search of a balance between reality and imagination.”

Hyper-Realistic Graphite Drawings By Monica Lee

Malaysian artist Monica Lee draws amazingly photo-realistic portraits using graphite pencils.

“I like to challenge myself with complex portraits especially people with freckles or beard. And I’m addicted to details. I like drawing in as much details as I can into my work.”

“I grew up appreciating the value of photographs. That’s why I prefer the photo-realist style compared to other styles. And recently, I came across the work of Dirk Dzimirsky and Paul Cadden. Their realism works with just graphite pencils totally blew me away! And I want to be able to do that.”

"The graphite helps develop texture - to give it a painterly quality when up close. the mylar is not only fun to draw on but also gives the pieces the layered depth. and lastly the resin holds it all together and gives it closure so to speak. once it's cast in resin... there is no turning back."

"I'm often inspired by old photos from the industrial revolution and daguerreotypes. those usually lead me into a direction for a theme or subject matter I'd like to get to understand more."
