Dain Yoon is a South Korean artist known for transforming her own face and body into striking optical illusions. Using paint and makeup as her primary tools, she creates surreal effects that distort perception—merging facial features with objects, multiplying forms, or blending seamlessly with her surroundings. Each piece is crafted by hand and can take hours to complete, with minimal reliance on digital editing. Her work gained international attention around 2016 as it spread widely online, highlighting the creative potential of illusion art through performance, photography, and visual experimentation.
