EGLOMISE


églomisé is the technique of reverse-glass painting, central to Nelissen's practice.Using plexiglass as a canvas, the artist crafts églomisé of unparalleled realism, depth and spatiality, cementing his reputation as a leading exponent of the genre.









































“Nelissen is the first painter to master églomisé reversed painting
on glass with such a realistic perspective and depth.”
