Reveal The Secret Of These 16 Ordinary Drawings With One Cylindrical Mirror

How many times have you looked at a piece of art and wondered what was the point in it? Art-enthusiasts are always trying to find the message the artist left hidden inside his work and everyone comes with their own conclusion.Sometimes there is no deeper meaning to a painting. Even Freud said: Sometimes a banana is just a banana.  And sometimes the artwork needs a little something to reveal its secrets.

There is one extraordinary technique in the world of art that transforms what seems like a bunch of nothing into something amazing an it is called anamorphosis. It is an optical illusion, when an image is distorted to a point that you need to look it at a specific angle or a certain device to see its true beauty. It is a technique that has existed for centuries and has been almost forgotten, but artists like István Orosz are bringing it back to the modern age.

Just take a look at the transformations these images make simply by placing a cylindrical mirror at a certain point.
