"HOW in the hell did the artist do that???"

"I’ve watched this about 20 times... still as amazed the 20th time as I was the first. Would love to see this in person...maybe then I might understand better?"

This brilliant painting shows human aging:

The artist's name is Sergi Cadenas, born 1972. He is a Spanish painter who rose to fame after a series of Instagram videos of his illusory, dual-image portraits went viral. Self-taught, Cadenas uses a piping bag to prepare large-scale canvases with precise vertical ridges before painting separate portraits on either side of the narrow ridges. The process leads to a mesmerizing effect in which each portrait appears to transform into the other as the viewer shifts vantage point. Through these paintings, Cadenas explores complex themes of duality, such as youth and mortality, the polarity of emotions, and racial difference. Cadenas’s technique is informed by his training as a metalworker in Girona, Spain, where he runs his family’s centuries-old foundry, Ferros d’Art Cadenas. His artwork can be found in the Porrentruy Optical Art Museum (POPA) in Switzerland and in private collections around the world.
