Japanese painter Kazuo Torigoe creates incredible oil paintings on copper that make you wonder what in the painting is real. 
On Torigoe’s website, lilies and hydrangeas seem to outgrow their frames. Luscious plums, apples, and two halves of a ripe fig look so appetizing that they make your mouth water.
