"Magic Realism" is a fitting term for his detailed and captivating paintings. Gonsalves imbues a sense of magic into realistic scenes, attempting to represent humankind's desire to believe in the impossible."

    Yes, this is what photoshop would look like, if it was on your bedroom wall. This fascinating replica of the "Photoshop Workspace" really brings photoshop into reality. Rumor has it that this was made for a Photoshop-ad in the Indonesian market. Cool.
