What can YOU see in these pictures? Stunning artwork is confusing people online as no-one can decide on what’s in the paintings
Artist Frank Franklin has people scratching their heads as they try to work out what is going on in these paintings
AN ARTIST has painted a series of stunning optical illusions but what do you see when you look at the clever artwork? Take a look make your decision.
One painting looks as though it's showing a wintry alpine scene with late night skiers on a downhill run surrounded by the beauty of Northern lights and the enticement of a warm and cosy hut.
But if you look a little closer - rotate your head to the left - you will see the image is actually that of legendary Jamaican reggae artist Bob Marley.
The incredible rotating artwork - which sees skiers as eyes and teeth as a ski hut - is the brainchild of surreal artist Frank Franklin.
The 42-year-old, who names Salvador Dali as his biggest influence, first stumbled across these creations when he saw a picture of himself with dark shadows.
The father-of-two said: "I used Salvador Dali's paranoid critical technique in which you can look at something for so long that it doesn't make sense anymore.
"I looked at the picture for so long a whole other set of images jumped out at me.
"I first created a picture of myself years ago, and then when I stumbled across it again I thought I could replicate it with iconic figures."
The optical illusion-fan works from images with very contrasting features, with a prominence of dark and light, to create his unique images.
He said: "Sometimes I can look at a picture for ages and I don't see anything.
"Other times I've looked at the picture and I'll see images that are not cohesive with each other - so that doesn't work either.
"You need to be able to make a picture as a whole, one that makes sense as a complete."
The data installer and artist will begin his drawings by using marker pens and then adds acrylic paints to them, he will then scan pictures into the computer and work on them digitally.
He has also created artwork of musician Jimmy Hendrix, artist Salvador Dali, actress Scarlett Johansson, singer songwriter David Bowie, Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead and Hollywood actor Nick Cage.
Prints of his images can be bought from for around £45 - £50.
