Original artwork description
Inga Makarova’s Just an Illusion is a dramatic and expressive painting that uses oil on Plexiglas to challenge how we see and feel about the human form – particularly the female body. At 100x100 cm, the work’s scale and vivid color palette make an immediate impact. Pale, exaggerated figures are suspended across a deep maroon background, their limbs contorted in a dreamlike tangle. Pink accents highlight the intimacy of touch, gesture, and presence.
The Plexiglas surface adds an unusual dynamic: areas of transparency allow the work to adapt to its environment, making the background an active part of the viewing experience. Makarova’s visual language recalls early 20th-century Expressionists like Egon Schiele, but with a 21st-century emotional register. This is a painting of intensity and contradiction – sensual yet disjointed, exposed yet unreachable.
Collectors interested in raw, feminist, or psychologically potent art will find Just an Illusion a powerful addition to their collection.
