Collection: Maks Simone

Paul Makovski, the creative force behind Maks Simone, is a self-taught artist known for pushing the boundaries of mixed media and optical illusion art. Inspired by the raw energy of street art, graffiti, and contemporary design, his journey began in the streets of Dorchester, MA, where color, texture, and movement shaped his artistic vision.

For over a decade, Paul has explored and refined his craft, pioneering a distinctive 3D effect that transforms his work into immersive experiences. His signature pieces, including the Spirit Orb and Double Take series, challenge perception by requiring physical interaction—viewers must engage with them in person to fully grasp their depth and illusion, as traditional photography and video fail to capture their essence.

Harnessing cutting-edge materials and advancements in manufacturing, Paul creates works that were once impossible. His fearless experimentation with unconventional elements results in dynamic pieces that blur the lines between art and technology.

Driven by innovation and a passion for self-expression, Paul continues to evolve his practice, leaving a lasting imprint on the contemporary art world; one illusion at a time.
