Are you in for a deceptive art? Then we have a treat for you. Let’s take a break in digital age and backtrack to the era of traditional painting. Here you’re about to see a collection of oil paintings that will boggle your mind. Taken to a different level, these paintings are created with optical illusions that will make you see ‘extra faces’ aside from the original image.
The artworks you’re about to witness are creations of Oleg Shuplyak, A Ukrainian artist who mastered mixing illusory images to his scenic oil paintings. He was born on September 23, 1967, then studied architecture as a profession, though painting was his life’s fervor. By expertly placing objects, characters and colors, he is able to create famous faces of remarkable people such as John Lennon, Uncle Sam, Jesus, etc. in an amalgamated form.

As you can observe, the artist counter twists our expectation as he makes the second image more perceivable, making it harder to see through the original image. Enough talk, its time we present below the amazing masterpieces that will puzzle your eyes. Come, take a peek, and be mind-blown!
