Alexa Meade.
Let me explain before you just copy and paste her name into your searchbar.
I don't believe I have ever seen artwork quite like this before. She seems to have been at her art for a little while now, so I definitely am not discovering someone new...but I find it crazy that she isn't someone I've ever heard anyone mention before (I don't think I live that far under a rock), but I digress. She has found a way to flawlessly combine 2 different mediums into fantastic pieces of art. She paints something or someone and then photographs it. But not in the way you may think. She doesn't paint a portrait of someone or a still life of an object, she literally paints the person...ON the person or object. Then she takes a photo of it.
My mind went bonkers when I first saw her work. I couldn't believe they were actually real people. But I looked past the paint and saw life in the eyes and real texture to the hair...my jaw dropped. She also shows you behind-the-scenes photos of the model (painted and all) and herself so that you can see it really is a person, not a painting.
I won't post any pictures because (besides not wanting to get into any trouble) I want you to be able to take her work in yourself, from her website.
Please Enjoy.
