If You Think You Know What You’re Looking At, Your Eyes Have Fooled You. Look Closer And… OMG!

The level of creativity of an artist’s mind is really unfathomable. Not only that their talents are incredible but their ideas are really something unimaginable.

A clever French artist, Patrick Commecy, together with his team of muralists created eye-catching scenes around France by transforming dull and boring facades into a place full of life.

He paints hyper-realistic windows, balconies and tiles which closely resemble their real-life counterparts. He also often includes figures of famous and influential people from the history of the town where the mural is in.

Just like this one in Montpellier building where six famous figures and residents of Montpellier including Antoine Jérôme Balard, a chemist and discoverer of bromine can be seen.

A mural at the town of Le Puy-en-Velay which he titled “Renaissance”.

This painting on a building facade he created based on the characters of Gabriel Chevallier’s famous novel “Clochemerle” (1934).

A mural depicting 20 pioneers of mountaineering on the side of the first Guides Office.

This illustration with a tree which looked so real but is actually part of the painting.

And many others.
