Auckland schoolgirl wowing artworld with hyper-realistic drawings

July 1, 2021

Isabella Brazhnikova was already sketching deep sea wildlife at the age of four.

A young artist is making waves on social media for artwork so realistic, people are questioning whether she did it - and she's just 12 years old.

Auckland schoolgirl Isabella Brazhnikova started out young, drawing sea wildlife as a four-year-old.

“I want to show people how beautiful wildlife is and that it’s really unique, and we have to protect and love it,” she said.

The style is called hyper-realism, where art looks better than a photo.

Her work is so realistic, people don’t believe she created them - so to prove it, she’s taken to TikTok and Instagram to showcase her art.

She’s since clocked over 350,000 followers and millions of views.
