How: Photo Genius Art or Photo Genius Painting is created when an artist chooses a photograph and then transfers it on to canvas. He then works on it with oil paints to achieve an entirely new creation. While the photograph acts as the starting point, the final painting can move towards any form — from realistic to figurative to semi or pure abstract.
