DiplopiaOlga Davo-Alonso | 85 x 85 cm, acrylic on canvas

At first glance, this artwork offers a kind of confusion and blur. The figure seems to be imperfect. After some time, the beauty of the image is highlighted. Imperfections become three-dimensional and convert the figures into volumes, giving perspective to the artwork. The optical ef-fects add to the quality of the drawing and the colors have a magical affect on the observer. Imperfection is not always inadequate, it can be beautiful. Imperfection can be overcome.

Olga Davo-Alonso is a young but successful artist who has had im-portant exhibitions in the Valencian community. She enjoys drawing and fantastic realistic art. This artwork represents her current artistic evolution.

Description by Jorge L. Alió

The “Miradas” competition was created by Jorge Alió, Journal of Refractive Surgery Editorial Board Mem-ber, and his wife, Maria Lopez, in 1998 with the intention of using artistic sensibility to bring society’s at-tention to the phenomenon of sight, vision, and blindness. “Miradas,” which means glances, is a contest in which artwork is sent from Spain and many international countries from the four continents for the Mi-radas International Artwork Competition every two years. Each cover of the Journal of Refractive Surgery features paintings that were submitted to this competition. “Miradas” is sponsored by OPHTEC BV, The Netherlands.
