TROMPE L’OEIL & MURALS
Trompe L’Oeil is a French term which literally translates to “Trick The Eye” It is the process of painting shadows and highlights on a flat surface to give the illusion of depth and realism. It is a technique best applied on Grained or Marbled surfaces to give maximum effect and beauty. All Murals featured below have been formulated, designed and painted from scratch by myself. Here below are just a few of the Trompe L’Oeil Paintings and Murals I have carried out over the past three decades.
