Sometimes works of art are so realistic that they can thoroughly creep you out. Such is the case for Russian artist Michael Zajkov’s hand-painted dolls which are so lifelike that it's rather unsettling. Looking at photos of his creations, you nearly expect one of them to take a breath! Every detail, from the flecks in their eyes to the subtlest of skin-tone variations, has been masterfully executed by Zajkov, a 2009 graduate of Kuban State University of Russia. While working on his master's degree, Zajkov spent time as a puppeteer, and in just a few short years, he was able to claim his own exhibition at the 2013 “Art Dolls” expo in Moscow.
Take a look at the gallery here’s betting you’ll marvel at the realism he is able to capture with polymer clay and paint. To round out the 3-D portraiture, Zajkov makes use of hand-painted eyes and natural mohair wigs. The real question you have to ask yourself is this: would you be able to keep one of these in your house? Scroll down, and you be the judge!
Noooooooooooo way to spooky
