Where’s the Explosion?

Created by Julian Beever, this painting is entitled “Explosion in Paris.” At first glance, it looks as though a meteorite or a colossal object had crashed into the ground leaving a gaping hole. However, if you look closer, this illusion was painted by the talented Beever. He is an artist whose work has been known to fool the eye and question one’s perception. Step a little closer and discover that there is no hole or impact but just art.

Face or Vase?

This is one of the most common and widely seen optical illusions out there today. What do you see at first glance? To some, they see only the vase, but if you focus your eyes a little bit more, the vase seems to disappear and then you are left with the silhouette of two side profiles of a face looking at each other. Still can’t see it? It’s okay; most studies have shown that most only see the image of the vase, but once they are able also to see the two faces, they can flip between seeing a vase and seeing the faces.
