Diving Into the World of Odeith’s Anamorphic Graffiti
Portuguese street artist Sergio Odeith, also known as Sérgio Odeith, has gained international recognition for his jaw-dropping 3D graffiti pieces that defy the limits of perception. In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 of his most astonishing works and delve into the world of this master of illusion.
🔗 Follow Odeith on Instagram
Odeith’s Background and Style
Odeith began his graffiti career in the 1980s, honing his skills on the streets of Lisbon. Over the years, he has refined his technique and developed his signature style, characterized by bold colors, intricate details, and mind-bending optical illusions (read more about him later in this post).
The Art of Creating 3D Graffiti
Odeith’s 3D graffiti art is a perfect blend of skill, perspective, and creativity. By employing anamorphic techniques and masterful shading, he transforms ordinary walls and objects into realistic three-dimensional scenes that appear to leap off the surface.
Odeith’s Signature Subject Matter
Odeith is known for tackling a wide range of subject matter in his work, from animals and insects to urban landscapes and fantastical creatures. His pieces often feature a sense of movement and depth, drawing viewers into his vivid, illusionary world.
Exploring Odeith’s Most Astonishing Works
Among Odeith’s most remarkable pieces are his larger-than-life murals of animals, including a majestic lion, a menacing crocodile, and an otherworldly praying mantis. These works not only showcase his technical prowess but also highlight his ability to breathe life into his subjects.
Odeith’s Impact on the Street Art Scene
Odeith’s innovative 3D graffiti art has earned him a reputation as one of the most talented and influential artists in the street art world. His work has inspired countless other artists and raised the bar for what is possible with spray paint and a blank canvas.
Odeith’s Background and Style: A Deeper Dive
Born in Damaia, Portugal, in 1976, Sérgio ‘Odeith’ first picked up a spray can in the mid-1980s, painting signatures and doodles on his neighborhood walls. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he encountered graffiti artists in Carcavelos, where the movement was gaining momentum. This sparked a passion for graffiti that led him to paint illegally on street walls and railway lines in and around Lisbon.
Odeith’s impressive evolution as an artist is due in part to his dedication to painting large-scale murals in various neighborhoods throughout Damaia, Carcavelos, and Amadora. Although he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and never received any formal art training, Odeith’s talent for drawing and his relentless self-taught approach to his craft led him to become the renowned artist he is today.
In 2003, Odeith adopted his current moniker, and by 2005, his innovative use of the anamorphosis technique began garnering international recognition. This “Somber 3D” style, as he later called it, involves painting on 90-degree corners or flat walls to create authentic, large-scale compositions of insects or objects that give a striking 3D optical illusion effect. Many of these works, painted in abandoned spaces, quickly went viral due to their realism and technique.
Odeith briefly lived in London after closing his tattoo shop in 2008, but he has since returned to Lisbon, where he now focuses exclusively on studio work and walls. Despite his lack of formal training, Odeith has become a pioneering force in the world of street art, with his dark anamorphic style and passion for the craft setting him apart from other artists.
