Jane Gibbens

Trained in trompe l’oeil in the UK, this artist creates captivating oil paintings of gemstones, exploring the fleeting interplay of light, reflection, and scale. Each piece is meticulously rendered on custom-made boards, often finished with gold foil edging, which allows light to catch the artwork from the side, enhancing its realism. From afar, the paintings appear as flawless gems; up close, they reveal intricate, abstract studies of light and shadow. Blurring the line between realism and abstraction, their work captures the essence of light in a single, finite moment, drawing viewers into an ever-shifting world of perception.
