The composition is built from forms that the eye reads as architectural — stepped planes, vertical risers, layered horizontal bands — but that resolve, on closer looking, into something more ambiguous. The title is accurate: the borders between the forms are also the place where the illusion operates, where the eye cannot quite decide whether it is reading depth or flatness, structure or surface. This is what distinguishes a considered original abstract painting from decoration: it gives the viewer something to return to.
Painted by hand using water-based acrylic, each layer adds to the relief that gives the surface its physical dimension. In a hallway or staircase — spaces passed through rather than occupied — geometric art paintings of this kind work differently from how they work in a living room. The movement past the canvas becomes part of the experience: the shifting light across the relief, the changing angle of view, the way the stepped forms appear to rise or descend depending on the direction of approach.
The neutral palette means Borders of Illusion integrates without competing. Against pale or warm walls the beige and stone tones disappear into the architecture; the grey and the relief catch the light and hold the piece in the room. Among choices for modern abstract wall decor in transitional spaces, this is one designed specifically for how those spaces are used — briefly, repeatedly, at changing angles — and for how art in them should behave.
As an abstract geometric painting at this scale, Borders of Illusion has the presence to define a hallway wall without overwhelming a narrow space. The composition rises rather than spreads, which makes it naturally suited to the vertical proportions of corridors and stairways.
