oil on board / 40 x 60 cm

This painting is based on a selfmade template I made in my back garden. The actual UFO is a tealight on a string, moved to get a motion blur and unsharpness which is typical for these inages. Tha actual UFO was only ca. 60 cm away from the camera lens, but as it´s backround is the sky, there is no optical relation, so i seems far away and big. Perspective, and optical illusions in context with fore- and backround are often being used to create images, that are not what they seem, and deliberately mislead the viewer.
