A "forger" is a person who creates fake documents, signatures, or artworks with the intent to deceive others. This illegal activity often involves replicating the work of famous artists or producing counterfeit money, which can lead to serious legal consequences. Forgers typically use various techniques and materials to make their fakes appear authentic. In the art world, forgers may imitate the style of renowned painters like Vincent van Gogh or Pablo Picasso. The rise of technology has made it easier for forgers to create convincing replicas, prompting increased efforts by authorities and experts to detect and prevent forgery in both art and finance.
