"FATA MORGANA" is a fata morgana. Just that. A painting intended to be one big illusion.



By definition, a Fata Morgana is a complex form of superior mirage that occurs when layers of air with different temperatures or densities refract rays in unusual ways. This phenomenon often happens over large bodies of water or in the desert. Fata Morgana can create striking optical illusions, such as distant objects appearing distorted, elongated, or even floating above the horizon. Fata Morganas in desert regions may have physically, slightly other characteristics than those over the sea. They can sometimes give the illusion of water or even entire cities shimmering in the distance, adding to the mystique. Arabia, but not only.



(The painting is much more delicate in the original. We still have to take an HD image)
