Way Back In October 2015,

we featured the work of a 3D artist,

 German artist Stefan Pabst. was born in Russia, but has been living in Germany since he was 15-year-old. In 2007, he started painting and drawing portraits, but quickly got bored with it and began looking for a way to somehow traverse the 2D border of a sheet of paper, all photographs Stefan Pabst/Facebook,

 as he continued to explore the limits of his talent, Pabst stumbled upon the art of anamorphic illusions, and he hasn’t looked back since. Although he continues to create commission portraits, the German artist has become much more known for his mind-blowing optical illusions,

 sometimes his work is so good it fools himself!

 “After I did the spider painting, it made me feel a little queasy,” Pabst told BuzzFeed. “I knew it wasn’t real, my head kept telling me it was dangerous and disgusting.”

asked about the message he wants to convey to his audience, Stefan Pabst said that he hopes to inspire people that they can do anything if they really put their mind to it, he has big plans for the future as well, hoping to combine anamorphic art with his portraits in order to make his subjects seem like they are looking out from the paper, what skill and talent he truly has.
