Hi!, I've featured you in my journal [link] :)

:omfg: I'm in awe of you. I love your work. To be able to create such an acurate representation of the world around us is such an amazing skill. You are able to create a moment in time that can never be gotten back (unless time travel has been invented and I am unaware). I mean, a picture can capture a moment, but you create it.

Thank you so much! :hexentanz:

Hopefully, those representations serve in some way to raise awareness, both aesthetically and socially.
~dazzle2090:icondazzle2090: 2 days 15 hours ago
I hope so too because they are so beautifully done and it makes people stop and think about the beauty and wonder around them, even right at home.

Hello Denis, you have some wonderful work I must say. My friend is working on a series of African "pictures" I took, as seen in my gallery. I was thinking he is good but there is no superlative to do your work justice.
`Denis-Peterson:iconDenis-Peterson: 4 days 5 hours ago
Thank you very much Eman, I used to have a large number of pieces on dA from my genocide series "Don't Shed No Tears", some are still up on my website.
~Massulan:iconMassulan: 2 days 6 hours ago
I'm honored receiving a reply good Sir. I've actually found that work on another site and so luckily discovered your presence on the planet. [link]
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I have been getting increasingly attracted to hyper realism these past few weeks and I would just like to say that I dont think its lame to base your artwork on a theory proposed by a book, I think that its absolutely genius what you and other emerging hyper realists achieve. Im sure some people dont or cant see past the fact that on first viewing of your work it may seem as though you just recreate a photograph and so there is not any room for interpretation but what they fail to see is the depth and magic created by a hyper realist such as yourself. With hyper realist paintings, im drawn in and find myself just staring at a painting for ages. The dimensions that are present within your paintings are unreal, the photos from which you base your work upon will never evoke the same reaction. I look forward to seeing more from you Nafia x

`Denis-Peterson:iconDenis-Peterson: May 21, 2009, 8:14:22 AM
Thank you Nafia, in the same manner that abstract expressionism initially drew jeers from established art critics due to misperceptions as to apparent ease of execution and lack of composition; hyperrealism, at times, polarizes the other end of the critic spectrum as overworked and unimaginative. And not unlike abstract expressionism, the tremendous amount of critical thought process, innovative technique and creative imagination that goes into each painting is unfortunately lost under the surface of the work - whereby the viewer is challenged to measure the aesthetic purely on his or her educated judgment and intuitive thinking skills. Curiously, once that takes place, it becomes the art itself that in turn measures the depth and understanding of the viewer/critic - an interesting anomaly in both cases. Thanks for your commentary and support Denis

Yeah that is so true but the 'simplicity' is the very thing that gives hyper realism an edge over many types of art, to a viewers eye the constant churning out of meticulously painted replicas of photos seems almost lazy but even though i only really started to notice hyper realism after I saw a painting in the Metro newspaper, Sparnaays Lollypop, I was instantly hooked. So, I thought it was great that in a hyper realist painting simplicity and complexity could be juxtaposed against one another and have dazzling effects. Is your work included in the 'Exactitude' book?

Yeah, I agree...and no, they only include gallery artists..it is interesting how painters that have adopted the genre do have their own individual and distinguishable styles.
