Trompe L’oeil in Istanbul

May 2, 2013

I’ve been in Istanbul for the past few weeks working on another project. The mural I’m painting here involves some interesting trompe l’oeil work where the existing architecture in the room needs to be extended into a fictional space. See if you can work out where reality starts and finishes!

And here’s the right hand side:

The trompe l’oeil is best seen in it’s entirety from the other side of the room so the perspective is a little out for these detail photographs.
