Sascha Braunig’s oil paintings of humanoid presences are like a breath of fresh air in the world of high-tech art. Her modestly scaled canvases are hyperrealistic, but they’re also playful and subversive.

Braunig starts by creating 3D models of her subjects from clay. Then, she paints them with a wild variety of stripes, patterns, and trompe l’oeil effects. The result is a body of work that’s both familiar and strange, like something you might see in a dream.

Braunig’s work is influenced by Surrealism, but it’s also very much her own. She’s a master of color and composition, and her paintings are always visually stunning.

If you’re looking for something different from the usual art world fare, I highly recommend checking out Sascha Braunig’s work. It’s a unique and refreshing take on the human form.
