Pyrography is a complex and unforgiving type of art that doesn\u2019t leave much room for errors. But this didn\u2019t stop Nigerian artist Alex Peter Idoko from giving it a try, on the contrary. Idoko not only mastered pyro art but also developed his own recognizable style that is impressing art lovers from around the world.\n\n\n\n
Idoko is best known for using pyrography to create hyperrealistic portraits. Despite working with a demanding technique, this self-taught artist is able to capture his subjects with impressive accuracy. Using fire, razorblades, and sandpaper, Idoko etches the portraits on wood in a way that makes the viewers think they are looking at a photograph and not something drawn with fire.\n\n\n\n
