Photo 1: The Vintage Car

What looks like an elegant vintage car parked against a crumbling wall is, in fact, another of Odeith’s illusions. The sleek black vehicle, complete with gleaming headlights and reflective chrome details, seems ready to drive away. By using the surrounding rubble as part of the composition, Odeith creates a striking contrast between elegance and decay.

Photo 2: The Burnt-Out Bus

At first glance, you might think this is an abandoned, charred bus left to rot. Look closer, and you’ll realize it’s Odeith’s brilliant handiwork. Using a blank wall, he’s created an anamorphic illusion of a damaged vehicle, complete with broken windows and weathered metal. The detail is so convincing it’s hard to believe it’s graffiti. This piece highlights Odeith’s ability to seamlessly blend his art into its surroundings, making you question reality.

Photo 3: The Giant Wasp

In this transformation, Odeith turns a plain concrete wall into the dramatic scene of a giant wasp. The lifelike detail—from the translucent wings to the vibrant yellow stripes—is both stunning and unsettling. Odeith’s mastery of light and shadow makes the insect appear as though it’s hovering right in front of you. It’s a striking reminder of how art can bring nature to life in the most unexpected places.

Photo 4: The Tea and Bird Illusion

This stunning mural features a delicate tea set complete with a hovering bird. Odeith masterfully incorporates the intricate details of the cup’s design and the bird’s wings, creating a surreal illusion of depth on the wall. The simplicity of the subject combined with the artist’s complex technique results in a truly breathtaking piece.

Photo 5: The Giant Beetle

Odeith transforms a dome-shaped structure into a colossal beetle, crawling across its concrete surface. The curvature of the building enhances the realism, making it seem as if the insect is ready to spring to life. This piece is a brilliant example of how Odeith merges architectural elements with his art to create unforgettable illusions.

Photo 6: Giant Rooster in a Forgotten Corner

A towering rooster painted by Odeith in an abandoned concrete corner. This stunning 3D illusion transforms a grey, crumbling space into something alive. With precise shadows and vivid feathers, the bird looks like it’s about to strut out of the wall.

3D street art by Odeith of a large, hyperrealistic blue and black poison dart frog painted on a cracked and weathered indoor wall. The frog appears to stare directly at a seated man across from it, creating a surreal confrontation within an abandoned, deteriorated room.

Photo 7: The Giant Beetle

Perched on a peeling wall, a vivid blue poison dart frog seems ready to leap off the surface. With lifelike gloss and shadow, Odeith crafts a surreal face-to-face moment between man and mural inside a weathered, empty space.

Clinging to a stained concrete wall, this giant wasp appears mid-hover thanks to Odeith’s precise control of light and form. The 3D illusion merges flawlessly with the aged textures and overgrown grass of the setting.

Photo 9: The Abandoned Train Illusion

Odeith transforms a small, white-walled structure inside a derelict building into a full-sized, graffiti-covered train. From rust-colored panels to realistic rail car shadows and sprayed-on tags, the mural merges perfectly with the environment. The surrounding space adds depth, making the train appear parked in a forgotten station.

The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork

Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.
