Rob Gonsalves is a Canadian painter of magic realism illusions. I couldn't find Rob's homepage, so if you know what's the adress, be sure to post it under comments. I included a set of 36 pictures Rob Gonsalves produced, and you can see all of them if you jump inside this post. I would appreciate if you commented which of these you find most beautiful and puzzling?
My favorite is the bridge ship. I also like the couch floating in the ocean. Thats the way I feel somedays :) and the one you put on the post,The green maze.

Being a mother, I think I like the ones with children best: the map, the jigsaw, the swing, the bouncing on the bed. They seem to have more content, rather than just being clever. Overall I think his stuff owes a lot to Magritte.

They're all outstanding! If I had to pick 1 it's got to be jigsaw puzzle of the house being put together inside the house, very bizarre. Wallpaper sounds like a great idea.

I love them all!!!!

An absolutely astounding collection of artistry. My favourite has to be the galleons materialising from the archways of the aquaduct, which, coincidentally, is the front cover of a book on optical illusions through the ages which I am currently reading. Inspiring work!!
Those illusion-paintings were really really really good ..i mean the thought and the way it made you think it was somehting but it wasn't Its very unusal but really interesting aswell...great work (y) Heres what my friend has 2 say.....
i think its awsome mate theres so much too it that makes yhoo think that its real and yhoo can do those things in real life "I WISH I COULD" againe awsome tell us how yhoo do it i want to now so i can draw it in school and show ma teacher LOL AMAZIN. GOOD JOB KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!

These paintings are sooooooooooo awsom. i would do anything to be able to paint like that!!
These are absolutely brilliant! I especially like the ones that take you a moment to realise what is 'wrong' with the picture. I'm really drawn to the one of the 'lake' made of mirrors, for some reason. And the ones where inhuman objects become human, they really show a different perspective.

Rob Gonzalves is a mastermind. He shows us what the world could be like once the mind is freed of the mundane and normal causalities of our times. The mind has no limits, and the soul reaches forever. Very impressive works.

I personally love the Beach Room, the River monks, and the Girl flying off her bed. I wouldn't say he's better than Escher, because escher did a more mathmatical exploration, but this artist is very Escher like, in a good way. I've seen a lot of these paintings featured in books about illusions. Very cool.

Wow, what talent!! I love all of these, but my favourite has to be the one with the mirror-water around the castle :D
Cheers Vurdlak for such a cool site, I've been hooked through the widget since november and I'm loving every minute!!
