Blue Nude with Mirror (2025) Original Drawing by Bart Demeestere

This composition explores dual perspective through contrasting media—the observed figure rendered in blue ink, whilst the mirror reflection appears in pencil. This technical distinction emphasises the difference between direct observation (ink) and mediated reflection (pencil). The scale shift between a complete rear view and a fragmented mirror image creates spatial tension. The monochromatic approach with two different media creates visual dialogue between “real” and “reflected,” questioning perception and representation through material choice rather than colour.
