The Mind-Twisting Optical Illusion Paintings By Rob Gonsalves

All kinds of amazing creations are born into the world through the hands of artists. Each artists talent is unique, bringing about a special kind of experience that is to each his own. It is a magical and beautiful thing. Whether it be painting, sculpture, music, or writing, to surround and immerse oneself in someone’s brilliant creation is wonderful.

Here is a person who does wonders with his talent. His name is Robert Gonsalves and instead of painting regular things that we daily encounter, he has made special creations by blending optical illusions with traditional art forms. His paintings will blow you away and have you looking twice (at least) to try to understand what exactly you are looking at…or to know if what you saw was what you thought you saw. His works obviously require a tremendous amount of skill and patience to create.

He became interested in art at a very young age. By the time he was twelve years old he was already experienced with drawing techniques, perspectives and architectural art and this proficiency can be one reason that compelled him to make complex paintings with optical illusions. One glance at a painting of his and you can see immense talent and dedication clearly.

The images he makes are more than a picture. For example, you might be looking at a waterfall…but after a few seconds, you will realize that it is not actually a waterfall but hundreds of people doing this and that. You don’t have to be a connoisseur of art to appreciate the mind that lies behind the paint on the canvas. His paintings can fascinate even the most shrewd of art observers.
