Hi! My name is Jaime Sanjuan and I’m a Spanish digital artist. Over the past two years, I have spent thousands of hours painting incredibly realistic paintings on my tablet, using only the fingerpainting technique.

Every day I spend hours and hours painting with my fingers; I know, it is a lot of work, but these beautiful drawings are worth it. Currently, my works are exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world and I’m happy to be fulfilling a dream. Check out my previous realistic artworks here.

Have you ever thought about creating unique art, but do not have space or money for supplies? If you have a tablet or smartphone… you have an entire art study in your pocket. Imagine what you can do! Here you can see some of my digital artworks, I hope you like them.

    Do you use a Cintiq for your work? I'm into digital painting but no where near as good as this, I use a wacom bamboo but am limited to using a pen with it! https://www.behance.net/gallery/33411795/Sandy-Personal-Painting

    I have a tablet and drawing apps, but no way could I approach what you do. Your work is so masterful, it looks photographic at times. You are very talented and it shows that you have spent a lot of time developing your skills.
