CIRCE
Greek Goddess. She was skilled in the magic of metamorphosis and the power
of illusion
CIRCE series are paintings with double effect (day and / or night
view) illuminated with a specific fluorescent light source. The structures are
framed with plexi glass.
The light source in combination with special colors surprises the viewer
and provides the illusion of depth and three-dimensional image. They also give
the impression of many light sources while the light source is only one.
The
advantage of this project is the effect when the light source is turned on
which is different when it is turned off. Therefore
the structure succeeds every time to describe a story at the audience, playing
with light and dark, visible and invisible, and the power of light. So, during
the day it appears as a painting and during the night it transforms into a
light fixture with
totally different background.
The aim is through one illusion to illuminate two sides of the same truth
and make clearer the multidimensional personality of each image and
reality.
Each one of structures is unique
because it is hand-painted and it’s created only once.
