There are certain kinds of art that are meant to conceal what is real and make us believe what is just an illusion, works of art that trick our eyes. One of these is the art of body painting.
What you’re about to see are incredible works of body painting artists such as Emma Fay from the UK, Gesine Marwedel from Germany, Johannes Stoetter from Italy and many others who have taken animal body art to the extreme. With professional make-up, expert lighting, proper positioning, and tremendous imagination, these artists were able to make us believe that what we’re looking at is an animal painting and not the human body itself.
