Those Mona Lisa eyes..



You can always rely on a mural by Perth artist/illustrator Paul Deej, seen here many times, to brighten up a dull day. The lady with eyes that follow you from whichever way you look, found on the wall of the car park behind Fresh Provisions (incroyable store) in Mount Lawley. Why is it that the eyes in some paintings, like the Mona Lisa, follow the viewer from every aspect.. apparently it's all to do with the light, shadow and perspective.. dead clever these artistic types :) Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..

  2. Too bad the piece is on a wall behind a car. It deserves a more viewable space, IMO.

  6. Lovely mural from a talented artist. Not the easiest mural to photograph. You did well given the setting.

  10. Very colourful and almost futuristic but at least the artist has brightened up the brickwork.

  11. He did a masterful job on that. If one doesn't have talent it sure is nice to be able to enjoy someone else's.

  23. It's not quite close enough to Mona Lisa for me!
    But very nice. Looks like there are more to be seen on that wall, too.

  24. I've seen paintings where the eyes follow you It's pretty clever to accomplish that in a big mural.
