Luce says he uses his own face to create his mind-boggling optical illusions.

From 3-D drawings...

...to post-modern art...

... to grotesque colorations.

Luce, who is from Milan, told “Good Morning America” that while he’s worked as a makeup artist for Italian national TV for more than 15 years, he started creating 3-D illustrations on the palm of his hand with makeup in 2014.

"I like the fact that [the images] manage to confuse the viewer...this makes me proud of my efforts," he told "GMA."
