Metamorphopsia 01 Blue

Vidal Toreyo was inspired not only by the optical, but also the emotional side of this phenomenon. He used it to create a series of abstract paintings. Vidal Toreyo's paintings go beyond simple deformation. They are a puzzle in which you have to find and imagine the topic. Therefore, the names of this series do not suggest what was the inspiration. The viewer has complete freedom to interpret the painter's ideas. It is a game. He plays with himself. The viewed image is real, its associations are caused by presumptions and conjectures. The viewer's brain looks for associations, assesses the drawing, colors and tones. An abstract painting in your mind changes and adjusts to the image, association and memories. And each viewer deforms what he sees in front of him into his own image, creates his own metamorphopsia in his mind.
The world can be brighter, more expressive - an abstract painting with unique features is created. Deformations can change the size of viewed objects, distances and proportions. Multiplications of elements may appear. It is also characteristic to shimmer or glow of the visual image, color changes of objects or monochrome vision. Visual metamorphopsia also includes disturbances in the emotional perception of perceived objects.
