Story Behind the Alias
Reflections Beyond Illusion is more than just an artistic alias — it’s a philosophy. In each of my works, I seek to explore the tension between what is seen and what is hidden beneath the surface. The Window Eyes in my figures symbolise perception, both inward and outward, reflecting the unseen emotions, dreams, and realities that shape our existence.
···
Art has the power to capture these layered truths, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. As you look at each figure, you’re invited to move beyond the illusions of the world around you and reflect on the deeper connections between nature, life, and self.
···
The human figures in my pieces are caught between the worlds of tangible reality and abstract dreams, each one representing a new way of seeing — an opportunity to witness the reflections we often overlook. Every vine, wave, or flame is a symbolic of the stories and emotions that intertwine with our existence. Through Reflections Beyond Illusion, I hope to offer a new lens to the viewer, inviting you to question, explore, and rediscover the reality beyond the illusion.

Reflections Beyond Illusion
Reflections
The act of thinking deeply about something or considering it thoughtfully. It implies deeper analysis of one’s thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Reflections in art can refer to how the artist’s personal experiences and emotions are depicted in their work, inviting viewers to see their own reflections and interpretations within the artwork.
Beyond
Something that exists outside of or transcends a particular limit. Something; exploration, expansion, and the idea of venturing into unknown territories. Beyond encourages viewers to look past the surface of the artwork, exploring deeper meanings and narratives that go beyond conventional interpretations. It invites a journey into the abstract and the surreal.
Illusion
Refers to a misleading perception or belief that does not align with reality. It suggests something that appears to be one way but may be entirely different upon closer examination. Illusion by RBI challenges viewers to question their perceptions of reality. It reflects how art can distort, enhance, or reinterpret reality, blurring the lines between what is real and what is imagined.
What if the world we see is only a fraction of the one that truly exists?
Through my art, I explore the reflections beyond illusion, where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, and the unseen becomes visible. Every stroke is a journey into the unknown, every window-eye a portal to a deeper truth. Step through, and discover what lies beyond.
