Don’t know why you were downvoted. There’s clearly far too much detail, especially in all the individual hairs and the melting snowlflakes, for this to be a real painting.
Maybe it was digitally painted by tracing over the actual photo, but I doubt it.
I stand corrected, however OP could have avoided a lot of bickering if they’d have just bothered to post the source to begin with – especially on the current internet where 99% of everything is AI.

Hyperrealist artists paint this kind of thing all the time. It’s quite possible to paint this using actual paints.
I’m changing this instead to express my astonishment that the artist did capture the depth of field and also motion blur; see below.
The fact they did do all that is what makes this so amazing. The edges of the eyes is what convinced me it’s not a photo.

You also could have saved YOURSELF a ton of bickering if you used some effort and looked up the source yourself.
Take some responsibility. Stop expecting everyone else to hold your hand through life.
Because they’re wrong and because it is an oil on canvas painting.
