Everything here is erotic, but...

This erotic blog is about naked women and nothing more, but sometimes you find something you can't just simply label as "erotic". To be clear - everything on PD is erotic, but some of the things are "erotic" and some are "erotic art". And this term just comes to my mind while looking at pictures of Italian photographer Elido Turco.

The Internet is full of his works and obviously you've came across some of them already, especially if you are interested in bodypainting. But it's not his only topic, as Elido Turco seems to be very universal photographer if it cames to choice of themes. Regardless of that, probably the most intriguing series of his photos are those using body and paint motif. Such series are called: Voli Notturni, The Water Diares and the Allegorie Corporee (the last one is the main source of pictures shown here).

Of course, bodypainting galleries are nothing exceptional, but what makes Turco's images unusual, is the unique usage of paint, color, background, lighting and props. His models aren't just undressed and painted from head to toe. Usually, they are randomly covered with mix of different paints, often very thick and dripping down their bodies. Some of the girls are fully nude, but some are partially dressed or hiding their nudity with untypical props, wich really turns on the imagination...
In The Water Diares artist immerse his bodypainted model in the water, letting the paint to melt away from her body. This makes the water opaque - the woman is hidden under the surface, with only selected bodyparts visible above. That creates interesting composition, consisting of colored water and nude body - still covered with the rests of paint.

Maybe I'm wrong, but even though the erotic aspect plays important role in Turco's pictures, the artist also seems to focus on faces, expression and movement of the models. This in addition of mentioned usage of colors makes his galleries true.. erotic art.

So, enough of that writing. Here are excerpts from works of Elido Turco:
