trompe l'oeil & decorative panels

the art of illusion

Trompe l'oeil painting designed to give an illusion of reality deceives the eye.

Trompe L' oeil distinguishes itself from decorative mural painting by its intent to deceive. The artist's technical skill is meant to go undetected and with the use of perfect perspective and cleverly observed light described with realistic colour the trick is to make the onlooker believe that a surface is not flat or that a space exists were there is none.
