Revealing Marilyn Optical Illusion

Marilyn Monroe Optical Illusion
© Gianni A. Sarcone, archimedes-lab.org

Gianni always comes up with such wonderful optical illusions! Just check some of his earlier works to see what I mean. “Revealing Marilyn” is another gem in his opus. Just look how simple these yellow and blue stripes you see on your right seem at first.

But if you step few feet away from your monitor (or simply squint your eyes – that should do the trick), detailed portrait of Marilyn Monroe surprisingly appears! If I’m not mistaken, I think Mona Lisa has already played this very same trick on us!

Hope you like this one as much as I did! Don’t forget to submit all those quality illusions you have created or stumbled upon while browsing the web. Theres a great chance the next one we feature could be the one you sent in for our consideration! Email link for submissions can be found in the footer of this site.

  1. It is well made, but…

    The fact that it uses a famous portrait effectively ensures that one barely has to make out the bits to recognize Ms. Monroe. It would be a tad trickier to parse at a glance if the face used was not an instantly recognizable icon.

  2. Something funny is that if the scrollbar is moved up and down, the Marilyn formed image seems to stretch and shrink. Greetings

  3. i prefer marilyn manson, can you get one of him? he is the GOD OF MUSIC!!!
