An artist has impressed hundreds of thousands of fans after painting mind-bending optical illusions onto her face.
Dain Yoon, 26, from Seoul, South Korea, has earned more than 607,000 Instagram followers thanks to her incredible artworks – all of which were created without using Photoshop.
Creating the pieces by using watercolours on her face and hands, Dain explained that she can spend between three to 12 hours completing a painting.
One of her most recent looks saw the talented artist blend into an Apple MacBook, which left fans ‘speechless’.
Other works showed Dain blending into the sky, painting faces on a friend’s body and recreating multiple eyes on her own face and arm.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Dain said: ‘I have always enjoyed painting since I was very young, and, frankly speaking, it was what I was best at.
‘I attended Yewon Arts secondary and Seoul Arts high school, graduating at the top of my class. These arts schools are the most prestigious in Korea.
‘After I got into art college, I studied scenography. I had a chance to design theatrical makeup and to draw on the body of actors of plays.
‘But after participating in theatrical makeup, I felt a strong need to do my own creative work, not being part of a play.’
She continued: ‘So, for my personal art works, I began painting on the bodies of several models. A little later, I decided to draw on my own face because face is the most strong and sensitive part of body where I can deliver the delicate emotions I so seek to convey.

‘It’s also important to note that my artistic family has been a very important part of my life. My mother is an artist and my father a professor of architecture.
‘Since I was young, my mother always emphasised that a sense of humour is very important for artworks. My parent’s philosophy has always supported and influenced me and my artistic growth a lot.’
With nearly 280,000 followers on Twitter, and hundreds of thousands on Instagram, Dain is an international hit and believes this is down to her works being ‘eye-catching’.

‘My paintings were able to become popular because they catch the eyes of people within the thousands of images they scroll through on a daily basis,’ she said. ‘Most of my painting went viral.
‘I always try to do new things, and never remain stagnant. I really work hard and I think my life and career have been developed a lot from it, especially this last year.
‘With time passing, my perspective on art has grown, and it led me to do things on a bigger scale, and different types of mediums as well.’
