Spanish painter Silvestre Santiago, better known as Pejac, creates incredible street art. Playing with perspective, he produces trick-of-the-eye pieces that surprise and thrill.

Seemingly magical works include gravity-defying shoes on lamp poles in London, a shark fin on the sidewalk in Tokyo, and an artwork themed around the pandemic-related social distancing on a cemented wall at Valdecilla general hospital in Spain. Cleverly, Pejac’s art invites people to move in close, then take a step back, invoking an “ah-ha!” moment as they realize what they’re looking at.
