If you're an art enthusiast, you've probably already heard of anamorphism, a painting technique that uses perspective deformation to create images that appear distorted or irregular when viewed from the front, but which take on their correct shape and proportions only when viewed from a precise point of view. I am thrilled to present my latest artistic work, a self-portrait made with the anamorphism technique, using acrylic colors on jute. This technique allowed me to create a work of art that, depending on the angle you look at it from, completely changes the image, creating a three-dimensional effect that captures the audience's attention. To create the work, I started with a sketch of my face on a sheet of paper. I then projected the image onto the burlap, which I had previously prepared with a mixture of chalk and glue, and drew the outline of my face, hair and facial details. Next, I painted the image using high-quality acrylic paints. The choice of colors was important to create the three-dimensional effect and to bring out the details of the work. Once the painting was complete, I started working on anamorphism. I designed the image so that, when viewed from the front, it would appear distorted and irregular, but when viewed from the side, it would take on its correct, proportional shape. This effect was achieved thanks to perspective deformation, which I created using a series of lines that follow the observer's angle of view. The final work was astonishing. When viewed from the front, it looked like a blurry, bumpy face, but when viewed from a precise angle, the image transformed into a very realistic self-portrait. Using anamorphism was an interesting and stimulating challenge. It has allowed me to experiment with new artistic techniques and create a unique work of art that never ceases to surprise and fascinate the public. In summary, the self-portrait made with the anamorphism technique using acrylic colors on jute is an extraordinary work of art that demonstrates the beauty and power of anamorphism and figurative art. If you have the opportunity to admire it in person, I recommend you do so, because the three-dimensional effect is truly amazing!
