Juan Medina

Art Appreciation

As I've mentioned in previous blog entries, I have a fascination for realistic artworks. When I come across an painting that catches my eye, I usually want to know about the creator.

While surfing one of the blogs I follow, I came across a beautiful image titled "Gabrielle in Landscape." It is of a beautiful naked woman seated on a satin green blanket in front of a lake in a forest. The definition of her body is pronounced and flawless.

This portrait was painted by Mexican artist Juan Medina, who is known for his trompe-l'œil art technique, which gives a three-dimensional effect in his artwork making it almost realistic.

You can see more of his beautiful paintings HERE.
