Mesmerizing Kinetic Art Reveals Two Completely Different Portraits in a Single Painting

By Sara Barnes on November 18, 2019

Self-taught artist Sergi Cadenas reveals two distinct portraits in a single painting. The incredible, transformative art changes as you walk from either side of it by gradually shifting faces as you do so. In one piece, Marilyn Monroe turns into Albert Einstein while another painting showcases a young woman aging many decades into an older version of herself. Each portrait stands alone as its own artwork, but in moving between the two ends, a transitional third painting emerges as well.

Cadenas’ artworks use rigid vertical strips to produce their transformations. He paints a different person on either side of the strips so that when you view the work from an angle, you see the subject as they were intended. Walking towards the center of the piece, however, converges the subjects and their characteristics are blended. This effect dissipates as you move to the other side of the work.
