Ever since I was a kid, I've loved optical illusions. I was, and still am, totally fascinated by how convincingly the eye can deceive our highly advanced brains. With one clever visual trick, objects change colors, patterns seem to move, and inanimate objects are brought to life.
But more fascinating than the illusions themselves are the creators behind them. When looking at a stunning puzzle, I always ask myself, "How did they think of that?"
That's why I love the art of Rob Gonsalves. His paintings are not only gorgeous works of art; they're also masterful illusions. One minute you think you know what you're looking at, and the next, it's something totally different. His talent is extraordinary and his imagination is limitless.
In his fantastic paintings, the rules of our world do not apply: up is down, water is dry, and ships disappear in the blink of an eye. His illusions truly transport you to another world — a beautiful, mystifying world.
I hope you enjoy his mesmerizing illusions as much as I did.
