# Optical Illusion Decor Felice Varini's 3D Rooms By Pearl | Published 2008-09-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-illusion-decor-felice-varinis-3d-rooms-update References: [moillusions](http://www.moillusions.com/2008/09/more-of-felice-varinis-3d-rooms.html) & [varini.org](http://www.varini.org/) Swiss artist, Felice Varini does not digitally manipulate pictures. What he is incredibly good at is painting walls, ceilings and floors such that [optical illusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture) form when viewed at certain angles. Starting from a chosen vantage point, he uses projector-stencil techniques to achieve his distinctive [geometric perspective style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection). In other angles, just fragments of the whole picture are seen. One of the videos show a remarkably good [painted corridor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time) where the lines appear to change from clover shapes to circles. But the artist insists his work should be viewed as a whole. He says, “My concern, is what happens outside the vantage point of view.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Optical Illusion Art:** Opportunities for artists and designers to create immersive and visually stunning experiences through the use of optical illusions. - **Projection Mapping:** The application of projection-stencil techniques to transform ordinary spaces into dynamic and interactive environments, opening up possibilities for experiential marketing and event design. - **Perspective Manipulation:** Innovations in perspective manipulation techniques that challenge our perception of space, offering new opportunities for architectural design and visual storytelling. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The use of optical illusion techniques in art and design can captivate audiences and provide unique and memorable experiences in various visual mediums. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Leveraging projection mapping and perspective manipulation techniques can create innovative and attention-grabbing marketing campaigns that engage and captivate audiences. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** The integration of perspective manipulation and optical illusion art in architecture and interior design can transform spaces, creating visually striking and immersive environments for residents and visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Optical Illusion Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-3d-carpet.md) - [Kinetic Optical Illusion Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-woodflow.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md) - [Dynamic Mathematically Shaped Surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathematically-shaped.md) - [Illusion-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md)
