Hungarian artist István Orosz is known for his anamorphic art, which appears abstract but transforms into detailed figures and faces when viewed through a cylindrical mirror placed on top. Orosz graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Budapest in 1975 and worked as a stage designer before focusing on his optical illusion artworks. He sometimes uses pseudonyms like "Outis" or "Utisz", which means "No one" and references the Homeric hero Odysseus who blinded the Cyclops.

When You Place a Mirror On It

2. István Orosz is a Hungarian artist best known for his fantastic anamorphic
art. The distorted pieces come to life when a cylindrical mirror is placed
atop the artwork; seemingly abstract imagery transforms into detailed
and realistic figures and faces.
Orosz graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Budapest in
1975. After graduation Orosz became involved with theatre as a stage
designer. According to Impossible World: István often uses “Outis” or
“Utisz” (No one) as a pseudonym. The Homeric hero Odysseus, who
fought the Cyclops, used this name as well (he put out the monster’s
eye). Orosz imagines that his art is akin to an Odysseus gesture: some
kind of attack upon the eye
