Un món a l'abast de la mà

Paula, Jonas and Kate met in Brussels at the Painting Institute. In pursuit of her life path, Paula Karst had announced to her parents, "I will learn trompe-l'oeil techniques, the art of illusion." Sharing friendship and rent, all three are experiencing intense years of training and learning, which will tie them together forever. They will not lose contact when the first jobs take them to places as far away as Paris, Moscow, Cinecittà with their ephemeral decorations or Lascaux, where a replica of the cave paintings is being made. Paula thus begins in a pictorial art, the trompe-l'oeil, which at the same time teaches and hides, at the same time it is original and copy, made of deceit and illusion. Like life. Kerangal's rich, precise and visual writing shows us art as a path full of sensuality and light, in order to get to know the world in depth - whether external reality or inner self - and touch its essence. purer, always elusive.
