Agnieszka Nienartowicz's work is a series of illusions and contradictions, in the best possible way: she crafts what appear, at first glance, to be photographs of women with tattoos of classic works of art. Only on closer examination does it become clear that these are themselves hyperrealistic paintings, replicating not only the style of the old masters, but the realism of the human canvas.
