Art & Soul Productions specializes in this specific style of illusionism, sometimes also referred to as 'quadrature' painting. This style of painting incorporates the application of pictorial techniques (such as illusionary and aerial perspectives, foreshortening, etc.) in order to deliberately deceive the spectator into taking that which is painted for that which is real.
"Trompe l'oeil is a French term meaning 'fool the eye.' This illusionistic style of painting is more than simply painting in a 'photo-realistic' manner, it requires a wry sense of humor and a strong understanding of composition, perspective, and, of course, drama. Decorative illusionism can be whimsical or elegant – but it is always intriguing. This style of painting really brings out the 'Magician' and the 'Trickster' in me." -RQ
