Shay Kun's paintings are known for their surprisingly realistic aspect, strongly inspired by photo shots, the artist does oil painting, which belongs to the hyper-realism current, where he gives a lot of importance to detail and the end result is just impressive.

Landscape, with a close up on a branch, windows covered with raindrops, Shay Kun's paintings encourages the spectator to question his relationship with images and reality. He portrays mankind as intruders in his painting, as they damage nature.
