Incredible Body Paintings Turns the Human Body as a Canvas

I started exploring body fine art in 2008 when I was asked past a photographer to do a face painting for i of his models. 2011 I had the idea of putting someone into one position and painting an animal on it and it worked very well. Since then I am doing body art all over the earth for different projects like music videos, fairs, shows, events, fine art and as well for private clients. Additionally, I am doing art exhibitions in galleries or museums with some of my favorite works as prints, that are for auction. In 2022 I fifty-fifty could quit my main task every bit an fine art therapist to completely focus on my fine art.

I love this kind of fine art, because the homo body as a canvas is inspiring and challenging. I always have to deal with a 3D canvas, with lights and shadows, positions and proportions. A body painting takes between iv to x hours and I accept to terminate the same day, which can be exhausting and stressful. It is very of import to care well for the model, because they need to feel healthy, eat, drink and become to the toilet. Especially belongings a position for a while can take lots of energy or even be painful. Usually, I start sketching outlines on the torso while in the exact pose and and then paint the whole thing in a different, relaxing position, so it is not so harmful to the model. Only for the photo, the model has to get into the pose.

Trunk painting is an art for just a brusk moment. Soon after the photograph session, the piece of work of hours volition exist washed away forever. I use professional person body painting colours, which are made for human skin and don´t experience itchy during the long day. They tin can hands exist removed by a shower and some soap.

In times of Covid -19 and lockdown body painting is currently not allowed in Germany. So of course every bit many (makeup-) artists I can´t wait to piece of work over again and hope for more art, events, shows and exhibitions in the post-obit years. ~ Gesine Marwedel
