What interests me about illusion is that it has no inherent reality yet under its influence, certain things can take on a concrete form. Things that exist in reality and things that are true are transformed into layers of overlapping shadows that cannot be distinguished one from the other.
Illusion is something concealed, secret and distorted, yet from another perspective it assumes an aspect of reality (on a tangible level).
Illusion is everywhere, and it is certainly in painting. And although, on a fundamental level, painting is one type of illusion, the complex context in which painting exists can, in fact, give rise to layer upon layer of different types of illusion.
Sometimes we find that both the viewer and the painter himself are deceived by the illusion created by a painting. This, to me, is what is important “within the work” and what the painter must be attentive to, and not just the interesting subject matter that is “external” to the work.
