Reverse perspective is a technique in which parallel lines converge toward a vanishing point placed in front of the artwork, rather than within it. This creates the illusion that objects grow larger as they recede into the distance—contrasting with traditional linear perspective, which makes objects appear smaller as they move further away.

Also known as Byzantine perspective, this approach was historically used in religious icons, pre-Renaissance art, and later in Cubism.

Inspired by this concept, I constructed a reverse perspective table to display my sculptures. While adhering to the core principles of reverse perspective, I incorporated an exaggerated forward slope in the tabletop to enhance visibility from a distance.

The still life objects—abstracted interpretations of a cup and saucer, a vase, and a large bowl with fruit—are designed to rest level on the slanted table. This intentional contrast creates an illusion of stability, countering the sense that the objects might slide off, despite the table’s dramatic angle.

These three sculptural objects also appear as my muse in several recent series, presented in different combinations.
