Still life “Gardener” refers to a series of so-called reversible paintings, in which the principle of anamorphosis is used. The phenomenon of anamorphosis consists in rearranging the elements and using the laws of linear perspective in order to create a new image.
Another starting point for the creation of such paintings could become culinary art: before us came descriptions of startling banquets, at which the dishes were whole compositions created by real artists.
