Human Canvas: An Empowering Body Painting Transformation

Come along to watch how I transform from just a body to a BODY of ART. Intuitive painter and artist Tamara Zonti uses my body into a canvas as she practices on me for her upcoming art exhibit. This was my first time being a model in such body painting experiment, and needless to say, I had some issues come up about my body image. Especially since I decided to document the experience on film! 

The final result (especially the very last touches Tamara put at the end, to enhance the body paint) really surprised me in how I perceived my body. I feel that having that paint on me literally turned me into a different person and you can tell by looking at the way I move and carry myself. It was a beautiful experience (aside from the paint setting spray, which was very unpleasant) and I can’t wait for you to see the final result of this body painting experiment!

Have you ever been body painted? How did the experience feel to you? Let us know in the comments!
