Reflection in the Mirror

In this piece of art, the creator has married acrylic strokes with elements of Photorealism to create a balance of sharp reality and the mystery of fantasy. In this reverie of realism, the creator's use of shade and contrast, reflect an almost photographic quality to the portrait.

From the tints of the girl's dark blonde hair to the lifelike sheen of light bouncing off her shoulder, the creator's attention to detail gracefully meets romantic idealism as his realistic subject melts seamlessly into the complex white background. Further away, her reflection matches the gleam of her jewelry as a natural filter of light shines against her skin. All the while, a cloudy haze slowly engulfs the mirror, once again echoing her creator's desire for a harmony between the 'real' and the mystical.
