I love beautiful art...photos, mixed media, etc...but, I have discovered that I am a real fan of trompe l'oeil (see the wikipedia definition below).
Trompe-l'œil, which can also be spelled without the hyphen in English,[1] (French for 'trick the eye', pronounced [tʁɔ̃p lœj]) is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions, instead of actually being a two-dimensional painting.
See an incredible example at Rouse66! The link that I have provided is specific to just one of the many examples in his portfolio...wow! You can check out his entire portfolio (which is awesome) at Rouse 66
Just click on "portfolio" and "Trompe L'oeil & Murals".
It totally amazes me how he can see the spacial relationships and translate them into these mind bending, eye tricking, works of art! Clearly, I am not an artist. However, I am truly glad that there are people in this world, that are blessed with this gift!

I absolutely LOVE these drawings, but never knew they had an actual name! Have you seen the ones that the guy does on the streets of NYC?
