I have always thought so, we are at the mercy of our senses, if they lie to us we will have a false concept of reality. For your first painting, it's pretty creative.
Edit: Maybe I misunderstood, English is not my native language and I still have a long way to go, I apologize!
@jesusjacr, this isn't my first painting, I've been drawing and painting all my life and I am almost 60 years old. I didn't start getting serious, as in selling my work until I retired, thank you!
