Of course, each piece was created with that sole intention in mind. Mehdi Ghadyanloo paints the walls of buildings with [illusional scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) that make people feel as though they are going delusional. Whether it involves a perpetual rainfall, which is made an even stranger sighting on a clear sunny day, or a man floating up into the sky as a result of holding too many [colorful helium balloons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer), the images will put a smile on anyone's face (as well as a furrow in the brow). Mehdi Ghadyanloo is a painter and designer based in Tehran, Israel. His street art is extensive. What makes his artworks particularly intriguing is that they are full of dimension that tricks the brain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3D Street Art:** Opportunity for innovative marketing campaigns and experiential advertising. - **Illusionary Art:** Potential for immersive virtual reality experiences and augmented reality applications. - **Optical Illusions:** Room for development of interactive installations and mind-bending consumer products. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Chance for artists and designers to push the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Possibility for incorporating illusionary elements into advertising campaigns and brand activations. - **Entertainment and Gaming:** Potential for incorporating optical illusions into virtual reality games and immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Kinetic Optical Illusion Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-woodflow.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md)
