Incredible Lenticular Portraits: The Subject Ages Depending on the Viewing Angle

Spain-based Sergi Cadenas comes from a family of ironworker craftspersons, and at age 48 he runs the family’s fabrication firm, Ferros D'Art Cadenas. However, Cadenas also happens to be a Postwar & Contemporary artist who has developed a stunning, lenticular oil painting technique:
