by Stefano on Nov.23, 2010, during Body Painting, Events
New drink with friends organized the Cost of Milan, where, launched the theme of International Day for the Rights of the Child, we colored our model who kindly provided us with the torso and arms cartoon characters
The fact that he has no basic project and to have worked each with their own colors led to some discoloration and all'accavallarsi of two or more people in the realization of the work, despite the kind offer made to us by the holders of local, to continue working in the private room
An evening run away fast, in which each participant is back baby, thinking of the lightheartedness of adolescence and the hope that in today's world totally civilized and industrialized, every child should be guaranteed rights to a happy childhood for a free social and cultural growth.

How to create a bodypainting
by Stefano on May.01, 2010, during Body Painting
Animating a party, attract the attention of visitors at an event at the fair, make a special night at the disco, create unique photos of a painting that will not live a few hours… these and many more are the reasons why the bodypainting in recent years is galloping on a wave of success. Today it is increasingly easy to witness bodypainting where to find artists at work on some exciting new creation. The mere production of a naked body color to the true art form that is supported by a model as a canvas for a painting.
But what lies behind? What’ is the argument for the models to pose buildings several hours and pay for their naked bodies wearing only a thin layer of color?
The bodypainting today has nothing to do with the ancient tribal customs that gave birth, but rather, intrinsically change of meaning, going from artifice to change a body (distinguish the degree of a warrior, help frighten the enemy), a real subject of the work, where the non-painted model of almost loses interest.
The creation of the work of bodypainting can develop in several ways, depending on the subject, the complexity of realization and of the 'modus operandi’ dell’autore.
You can start with a sketch on paper to be proportioned spaces and the size of the drawings, but there are also those who already have everything in mind and during the sudden realization.
Even painting techniques can be very different, as well as the tools used: sponge, brush, airbrushed with stencils and templates or freehand.
And maybe that is the beauty of this art form: interpretative freedom, in which the artist has the ability to use any tool at their disposal to transform the subject according to its most liberal interpretation of the theme.
Così se un investimento base di un centinaio di Euro tra colori e materiali può già essere sufficiente per poter realizzare i primi lavori, the true value of bodypainting is given by the artist's ability, by formal refinement, its ability to unite and use techniques and materials in the creation of his work.
