Penrose triangle constructed of a lot of colorful vector blocks. Isometric cubes for impossible 3d designing. Mathematical object with mental trick. Optical illusion of brain.

Penrose Triangle.

Penrose Triangle, is an impossible shape, it's an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing, but cannot exist as a solid object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. Independently from Reutersvärd, the triangle was devised and popularized in the 1950s by psychiatrist Lionel Penrose and his son, prominent Nobel Prize-winning mathematician Sir Roger Penrose, who described it as "impossibility in its purest form. It is featured prominently in the works of artist M. C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it.

Penrose Square, is an impossible shape based on the Penrose Triangle. It's an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing, but cannot exist as a solid object.

Have a nice day! :D

My homage to Monument Valley, the astonishing game by Ustwo. I was literally blown away by its magic, its surreal atmosphere, its unique genius... We're on Journey levels of awe(someness) here, please please do yourselves a favor and try it at all costs.

Lost and confused man walks puzzled on a penrose triangle. Perplexed person looks disoriented ahead, don't kaow wich way to choose. Surreal and conceptual scene, mental maze, optical illusion

This Rubiks Cube Penrose Triangle was inspired by Escher's optical illusions. I spent an hour with a Rubix cube solving the puzzle and painting this at the same time. If you have a Rubiks try and recreate it :-)

Such a magical object. Where would you find it? Well inside a black hole of course.

The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, the impossible tribar, or the impossible triangle, is a triangular impossible object, an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing, but cannot exist as a solid object.
