But this is the first time he has ever painted himself.'I just makes sense this way,' Mr Morales said. 'It's a conceptual self-portrait, a reflection of my complex relationship with paint.'The effort that goes into his oeuvres mean that each takes around a month to complete, with the artist working an eight-hour day in his studio.'I'm very disciplined, but I need to be to develop my work. I've got my studio separate from my home so I can concentrate, I need to be alone while painting,' the artist said.And despite the bizarre style of his depictions, he says he is keen to avoid being pigeonholed by putting a name to his unique style.'I don't like tags, I don't think you can choose a premeditated style, your style comes from the decisions you take through the years,' Morales said.'I always felt a special interest for the image since I was a kid, i think the power of the image to evoke emotions and make people feel is unlimited.'The Spanish artist says he feels 'liberated' when looking at his finished work, although said he has 'a weird process of love and hate with my paintings' while he is making them.'I try to show my inner world in my work. My images are explicit but they talk of senses and the non physical,' Mr Morales said.'My ambition is to continue to dedicate my live to paint every day, it was my dream since i was a child - it's my passion.'Eloy Morales is a master of hyperrealistic oil painting.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
