Jamie Salmon and Jackie K.Seo are both Hyperrealist sculptors living and working in Vancouver, Canada. The artworks they create utilize materials such as platinum silicone rubber, fibre glass, acrylic and human hair, in a variety of scales from miniature to monumental.

Self taught in many aspects of their craft, they both began their art careers working as sculptors in Film and TV Special Make-up FX departments, working on many high profile movies and TV shows. This is where they honed their skills and learned to use the more advanced techniques and materials, which they still use to this day.

Dr. Jessica Fridrich was born and raised in the Czech Republic during the Socialist regime. It was here that, despite the sterility cultivated by the powers of government, a young Fridrich’s love for the arts and nature began to grow. Much of her early inspiration stems from experiences with her father, who was an electrical engineering instructor at a specialized high school.

“His heart was really in fine arts,” says Fridrich of her father.

She recalls, as a child, watching her father make sketches out in a field, or paint in the living room of their apartment. These were her father’s galleries, as his political views restricted him from showing his art in public. While she observed him, Fridrich’s father would teach her about the principles of art, such as composition and mixing paint.

Astonishing Portraits You Won't Believe Aren't Photos →

British-born Jamie Salmon takes it to the next level. His work plays with scale -- crafting eerily real, too-large 3D self-portraits and figures to create a sense of "heightened reality." The Vancouver-based artist began his career as a commercial artist, making hyper-real bodies for the movie effects industry, and using silicone rubber, resin, fabric and hair.
