Ukrainian artist Nazar Symotiuk crafts mesmerizing wooden artworks that blur the line between geometry and illusion. Influenced by impressionism and pointillism, his layered, color-rich pieces shift as you move—inviting double takes and deeper looks.

Minimalist at first glance, his work reveals a bold complexity beneath the surface. Using wood, acrylic, and polyurethane, Symotiuk creates modern, mind-bending compositions that have captivated collectors from Tokyo to Paris.

Precision meets play, and the results are hypnotic.

Check out his precise and beautiful work below, and on his website.
