About

Currently, in popular culture, body painting is closely associated with eroticism and exploitation of human body. I want to change this perception and show how body painting is a serious art form that celebrates and elevates the human body.

To do this, I started a series for reproduction of famous masterpieces as body paintings. I choose the work by artists who I admire and has been influential in my artistic growth such as Salvador Dali, Vincent Van Gogh and Gustav Klimt.

I would like to make these images available to inspire more people by making them available in the form of a photo book  that consists of 30 body painting images.

Your support is needed to help me fund the production of the remaining images that I need to create (approx 8-10 more) for this series. It will also cover the cost of the production of the photo books.

What I have so far: DEN|ART NY: art history body painting series
