Mexican artist Juan Medina has been painting for more than a decade, picking up oil paints, watercolors, or a simple pencil. Only the theme of his works remains unchanged: in each picture there is always a female image, the beauty and grace of which it is difficult not to admire.
The female image is mysterious and interesting in itself. But even greater attractiveness and unusualness of Juan Medina's paintings are very often achieved due to the author's appeal to the trompley technique. Trompley (fr. Trompe-l'œil, "optical illusion") is a special type of optical illusion, as a result of which a flat image appears to be in three-dimensional space. For example, in Medina's paintings, we can see a girl "coming out" of the picture frame.
In his paintings, Juan Medina takes preconceived notions of reality and turns them upside down: his works are a kind of "Through the Looking Glass", where at first glance everything is the same as in the ordinary world, but where all the most incredible can happen. The artist is a real master, making the viewer doubt about the perception of spatial reality: the heroines of his canvases destroy all compositional frames and live in their own dimension.
Juan Medina is one of the most prominent representatives of contemporary art in Mexico. He was born in Mexico City in 1950. He currently lives in three countries alternately: Mexico, France and the USA. Since 2007, Huang has been a member of the International Realism Guild. Exhibitions of the author's works are held in Paris, New York, San Francisco, Miami, Mexico City and other cities. You can get acquainted with the work of Juan Medina in more detail on his website.
