OVERVIEW

Selected for the Illusion exhibition at the Menier Gallery in London, this painting explores the theme of perception. We often look without truly seeing; at first glance we notice the surface, but when we pay closer attention, hidden details and shadows emerge.

THE idea

In this painting, I worked with layers of perception. You might stop at your first impression, but if you look beyond the surface you’ll find hidden figures that were there all along, waiting to be noticed.
