Graffiti-style figures in the Rudayat paintings seemed drifting away in front of the city walls. That perception is awakened when we see Rudayat works solely with the realist approach. Rudayat intentionally disrupt our perception by using two visual methods at once. First, photorealism for the background. Second, graffiti methods using stencil technique style with spray paint to create images on the front. The resulting images of the two methods are intentionally not integrated into a visual unity that makes sense as the realism approach, which is attached to the figure of graffiti on the wall surface.

The result, although the impression of an illusion  (-pace) still exists, it becomes confusing. On the other hand, figure placement technique with graffiti-style stencil on the surface of the canvas (not on the surface images of the wall) can also be seen as a denial impression of illusory images of the city walls behind these figures. Although it was like a statement about the surface flatness of the canvas as the concept of modernism-formalist painting, but the main target Rudayat more on the potential for "chaos illusion" or "denial of illusion" in his painting as an allegory to the situation of today culture and contemporary art.
