Optical illusion paintings bowling people over

Canadian artist Robert Gonsalves has taken his passion for the work of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte to the next level with these surreal optical illusions. The mind-bending paintings are not only beautiful but incredibly difficult to wrap your head around. Take a look at some of his amazing work in the gallery above. We’re impressed!
