Family of the General
Category: Illusion Art | Added: May 26, 2009 | 2 comments
This popular piece of work from artist Octavio Ocampo is as much a puzzle as it is an illusion. The piece centers around two people in an archway, the combination of which creates the image of a male's face from the side. There are many different faces in the picture, some are even up in the sky. See if you can find them all. ( More... )

Solo para Siempre

This amazing piece of illusion artwork from artist Octavio Ocampo is called "Forever Always" in English. The main subjects of the picture are an old couple gazing across at one another, however if you look closely you'll see that their faces are made up of several other images including two Mexicans, a large vase and a young woman emerging from an archway on the right.

This is a brilliant example of artwork that incorporates optical illusions. ( More... )

Scintillating Grid Illusion
Category: Moving Images | Added: May 26, 2009 | Add a comment!
The scintillating grid illusion is very similar to the Hermann grid illusion and was devised in 1994 by E. Lingelbach. Like the Hermann illusion the image consists of a grid of black squares divided by lighter colored lines, however unlike the Hermann illusion this one has white circles already present at the intersections. This time when you stare at the image the white circles appear to have black dots appearing inside them. ( More... )

This illusion was first devised in 1870 by Ludimar Hermann, it consists of a series of black squares and interconnecting white lines in a grid formation. When you look at it there appear to be grey dots at the intersections which jump around as you move your eyes over the image. ( More... )

Warped Dotted Surface

This headache inducing illusion is simply a static image of a green background with a series of blue dots, however when you look at it the whole thing appears to move and warp in a wave-like fashion. ( More... )
