My interest in making art is to produce a sense of doubt, something I have not yet really grasped.
- Karin Kneffel

Karin Kneffel (b. 1957 Germany) is a German contemporary artist celebrated for her hyperrealistic paintings that explore themes of memory, perception, and the passage of time. Kneffel's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of layered imagery, often creating scenes that blur the lines between reality and illusion. Her paintings frequently depict domestic interiors, still lifes, and architectural spaces, rendered with such precision that they invite viewers to question the reality of what they see. Reflections, distortions, and transparent surfaces are recurring motifs in her work, adding complexity and depth to the seemingly ordinary scenes. Kneffel's art challenges the viewer's perception and encourages a deeper contemplation of how reality is constructed. Her works have been exhibited internationally, and she is recognized as one of the leading figures in contemporary figurative painting. (Artist website)

What is Hyper-realism?

Hyperrealism is a genre of sculpture and painting that closely resembles high-resolution photographs. It is an evolution of Photorealism and is often applied to an independent art style or movement that became prominent in Europe and the United States in the early 2000s. Hyperrealist artists focus on extreme detail and precision, creating works that are often indistinguishable from real-life images.
