This is fascinating. These rooms are painted so that, when looked at right, optical illusions will appear. Very cool indeed. MORE PICTURES INSIDE!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!11
I just finished my own, and it looks verry cool!
Only not al surfaces where the same color so i’ve to ajust the lightning to see it proper.
Big Up!
These are not real, they are superimposed by computer
ed, u need to get a sense of humor
the one with the circles looks just as good also taken by the “wrong” angle…
i loved the one with the windows..
the time is must take to line up everything is spectacular. I would love to see it in real life. A lot of this stuff doesn’t look real.
cool!!
but slightly nausiating….
yeah seen this b4
Bravo Mr Varini (et al.) for your minimalistic inversion of the classical trompe l’oeil concept in painting. The goal there was to create the illusion of a third dimension where there was none (or, in architecture, to increase the perception of deepness in perspective).
I must admit I’m more impressed by the classical version.
Some might like to have a look at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe-l‘%C5%93il
At first, I thought they took a pic of a room then did crap on the computer, but then I saw how they painted it or whatev. Its pretty darn awesome.
Thats so sweez.
wonderfulllll!!!!!!!
Wow, this is just great!
these r pretty wicked does is say who did em??
iit iis quiite cool..
but it loks so photoshopped..
but it iss kwwwl =]
wow groovy
magico!!!
it would probably look a lot less impressive in real life since you can only see it in 2-d in the picture but you would be able to see depth in real life
lol this is great!
this guy’s a master of perspective!!!!!!!
wow this is amazing lol!!!!! i hav seen something v. similar to this but the man who is the artists displays his art work all over the streets!
These are absolutely amazing! Makes me wonder what these designers do in their “spare” time!!!
While the theory is pretty cool, the pictures are FAKE. Can anyone else not see the pixelization of the shapes that are “painted” in the rooms and buildings? Look closely and you will be able to tell. If you were truely painting this, there would be no pixelation. Another note..if you look closely, you can see through the paint..another sign that they are computer generated, layered, photos.
this is boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you smell like poo
that is sick!☺☻
O__O” some of these looks photoshopped..
how did they do that, that is awesome
LOVE it!!!!
Thank u all 4 the comments there will be more posted up soon!!!
I must paint my home this way, this is awesome!
that is mad house
they’re using somekind of lighting projector and trace it back at the wall
this isnt that cool really!!!
these look stupid and not real only some of themlook real ..
Cool! I wish I had that in my house.
im rly sory bt is there any technique to this?i cant see anything..
awesome! totally awesome!!!!!!!
this is awsome
wow
but who has all that time?
well, if i say anything here, it’s unlikely to be anywhere near an original comment. But, anyway i will state my point: ‘It’s amazing!
So, who on earth cares if it’s photoshopped or whatever? Who cares if it’s some trick, or ‘it’s not possible’? It’s nice to look at, and that’s the point! They’re just cool pictures! Get over it, all of you!
i agree with M 2 the H O….. why does everything have to be photoshopped? cant you just accept the fact that they are real…..
dont hate…appreciate….yea its corniny but it fits :D
Along with Eschers stuff, these have got to be the best illusions!
some videos of Felice Varini work

Did no one notice the room with the blue square with the X in it???? The one pic shows the lines painted on the cabinet (maybe it’s a bookshelf?) on the right side of the picture, but in the other picture, it’s not even touching the cabinet. It’s a fake, and you’ve fallen for it.
Can’t make it much easier to prove than that.
TO ANONYMOUS 97.
OH NO WE ALL FELL FOR IT, BOW TO YOU OH CEVER ONE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE’S PROPERLY, THEY ARE TAKEN AT DIFFERENT ANGLES. IN BOTH PIC’S THE CABINET IS PAINTED ON. IN THE 1st PIC YOU CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT A 3rd OF THE CABINET THATS WHY IT LOOKS LIKE IT HASN’T BEEN PAINTED ON WHICH MAKES UP THE VERTCAL LINE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SQUARE. IN THE 2nd PIC THAT LINE IS A SHADOW IN CASE YOU WERE CONFUSED.
Can’t make it much easier to prove than that.
Ummm………Okayyyy….they were all weird but still cool!
peh ak!!
basically, this makes my brain hurt.
so awesome!
