They have never had a uniformed security guard at the museum before. They have had employees dressed in suits who keep an eye on visitors and the paintings of course. So I was so surprised to see this guard when I entered the museum. I was surprised for only 30 seconds, however! It turns out the guard is a work of art! It is an amazingly realistic sculpture by the artist Mark Sijan, who is a Serbian-born hyperrealist sculptor, who creates figures that are unbelievably lifelike and graceful. Working from a live model, he captures such realistic characteristics and features as tiny as hairs, veins, skin pores, and blemishes with extreme realism. His figures are gritty and naturalistic and are a tribute to real people. You cannot believe the detail and the realism until you see something like this in person!
