Trompe L'oeil
Trompe L'oeil is a French term
meaning "to fool the eye." The art of
Trompe L'oeil is the ability to depict
an object so exactly as to make it
appear real. A heightened form of
illusionism, the art of trompe l'oeil
enables artists to render objects and
spaces with eye-fooling exactitude.
Both witty and serious, trompe l'oeil
is a game artists play with
spectators to raise questions about
the nature of art and perception. I
love to paint trompe l'oeil but I still
like to add a lot of whimsy and a
painterly artistic effect to my work.
This type of mural can be as small
as one object or take up an entire
room.
