Lis Sam's Anamorphic Butterfly Portraits Blend Photography and Optical Illusion

Lis Sam, a self-taught artist born in Tunisia in 1989 and raised in France from age 11, has developed a unique visual language combining photography, floral composition, materiality, and optical illusion. His work features faces that appear and fragment as the viewer moves, created through a patented anamorphosis technique where butterflies are delicately superimposed in three dimensions. Depending on the viewing angle and distance, the image transforms, offering a personal experience. Sam's practice, rooted in street art and craftsmanship, sits at the intersection of contemporary and optical art. His series "Blossoming girl Collection WILD Sakura Bougainvilliers" exemplifies this approach. The artist's signature is emerging in the international art market.
