A video captured on February 23 in Mianyang, southern China, showcased the awe-inspiring process of a painter Mr. Li creatively making an optical illusion artwork on a tree trunk at roadside.

With precise color and perspective, the artist makes the tree trunk appear to completely blend into the background behind it. It looks like the tree trunk has been cut down the middle at first glance.

The artist Mr. Li has created a series of tree trunk paintings on the theme of optical illusion, aiming to break the limitations of space through painting and provide visual impact to people.

Li is a freelance painter, loves art, calligraphy and so on since childhood and has been studying painting for years.
