For Art Lovers Only : Enigmatic Works of Sandro Del-Prete and Octavio Ocampo




'Leonardo da Vinci' by Sandro Del-Prete

Painter Sandro Del Prete works a clever double-image into this homage to the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci. What at first appears to be a recursive image of the great artist painting a self-portrait, turns out to contain a second layer. Stumped? Look closely at Leonardo's face


'Saint George' by Sandro Del-Prete


Another of Del-Prete's works focuses on the legend of St. George, the dragon slayer. The lights and the darks tell two different stories: which do you see first?


Octavio Ocampo: Ecstasy of the Lilies


Now we present two more of his elegant, enigmatic illusions. 'Ecstasy of the Lilies' seems to be both a woman's face and a bouquet of flowers at the same time. See if you can 'switch' between the two images.


'A Woman of Substance' by Octavio Ocampo


Another striking image in the same vein by Ocampo, 'A Woman of Substance' is meticulously composed, from the sweep of leafy-green hair to the delicate curve of a flower-petal earring. Illusion or work of art? We say it's both.
