Painted window 24 " x 30 " acrylic
Miami Beach condominium 1998
|
The "window" on this Miami Beach condominium wall was painted in
the "trompe l'oeil" -- or trick the eye -- technique , and especially created
in both form and color to complement the actual salmon color of the wall
area between the marble countertop and the turquoise green wood frame.
Note the details of the small alligator on the window sill and of the cord
of the venetian blind --- both lifelike but actually painted!

The painted "frame" around the also-painted
"window" seems to be 3-dimensional but this
is because of the trompe l'oeil technique used.
The frame matches the ornamental woodwork
of the condo's walls and kitchen cabinets, as it
gives the illusion of an actual window view to
the ocean.h lifelike but painted!
