Hungary-based artist István Orosz spends his days creating works of art unlike anything you've seen before. The artist draws and paints images that appear to have no meaning or missing parts. Yet his pieces completely change when you place a cylindrical mirror atop the artwork. Abstract images suddenly become stunning scenery...or something else entirely.

Orosz creates artwork that is sometimes beautiful on its own, but when it comes in the realm of the circular mirror, the true form comes to light.

#3 Mountains, Right?
At first glance, it appears that a mountain ravine with a glowing moon is the intent of the painting. But look in the mirror and you will see a distinct face as the reflection.
#4 Shout Out to Homer
This specific painting is reportedly a tribute by Orosz to Odysseus and his great battle with the one eyed Cyclops.

A browsing of Orosz's portfolio will show a borderline infatuation with the eye. Why not when it looks this good?

#6 Hidden Faces
The ability to reflect a specific face in a mirror from a seemingly intricate artwork of a seemingly whole other genre is truly perplexing and hard for us to grasp.

#7 2 in 1
It seems like the artist incorporated two separate paintings into one display, using the reflection in the bottom picture to complete the hand of the other work. Pretty cool.
