Felice Varini is a famous Swiss artist known for his remarkable geometric perspective-localized paintings in rooms and other spaces. He resides in Paris, displays his illusionary work in both private and public spaces.

He uses anamorphic illusion technique to create his paintings. Anamorphosis is distortion of an image so that it appears in perspective only from one angle. These 3D shapes can only visible from one vantage point, but these shapes are actually a skillfully-arrayed geometry collection of flat graphics painted on the surfaces of walls, floors and ceilings. The word “anamorphosis” is derived from the Greek prefix ana-, meaning back or again, and the word morphe, meaning shape or form.

Varini created so many fantastic illusions that it’s difficult to choose only a handful to present.
