PICS: Artist paints gorgeous seaside murals while balancing on paddle board

Cape Town - A street artist has been brightening the dilapidated walls of the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn, New York with amazing hyper-realistic murals of beautiful women who look like they're merging from the water.

Placed just above the water line, the murals may have been a mystery to initial passers-by.

However, Sean Yoro aka Hula, the Hawaiian-born artist responsible for the paintings, recently unveiled his method in a series of photos on Instagram. And no it's not magic!

Almost more at home on water than on land, Yoro balances on a paddle board with his paint tins all lined up on the nose. He then sets out on the Williamsburg waterways and sets to work. 

Since sharing them on Instagram, Yoro's paintings have gone viral with people sharing them on Facebook and Twitter as well. 

Scoring prime walls in abandoned places.

"Pu'uwai" (Heart) 1st set of the new murals. This piece was inspired by the silence beneath the surface of the water, when all you can hear is your heartbeat as everything else fades away. Its one of the many places I call home. Thank you guys all for the overwhelming support! #hooooBRAHHHH ??: @dbla_ron
