Although This Painting Looks Like It Is Flat,

and made to look like a ball, 

all images from Daisuke Samejima, it is in fact painted on a ball! and it is only when the ball is rotated that you can see the full effect of the hyper-realistic painting,

Daisuke Samejima is a talented Japanese artist whose amazing spherical paintings look like the view through a fish-eye lens, regardless of the angle you see them from, it seems impossible, until you have a look at a video of his work, 

born in Hyogo, Japan, Daisuke Samejima attended Tama Art University in Tokyo and majored in oil painting with a Master’s Degree in Art Science, He currently lives and works in the Japanese capital, but has had his works on display all over Japan, and also in London, every time I look at one of the spheres I still can not fathom out how the perspective is always correct although it is painted on a ball, amazing!
