Story of black painted woman

Nude woman, covered head to toe in black paint, strolling and curling shamelessly in front of spectators, staining white canvas with her body... This must be a topic for this blog!

"I transform human bodies into paintings by enhancing their unique identity, then, through live performances, the painted bodies become the genuine expression of my ideas. The final process of my work is capturing the moments and the movements and reinterpreting the stories through photography, video and installation. The emotions of my performers respond to my thoughts is a fundamental part of the final art work. I search for a deeper meaning in ordinary things, seeking the beauty and intensity of our existence. My art examines the symbolic relationships between human mind and the natural environment, traditions and culture. I create art as a necessity that comes from my stomach and from my most intimate thoughts." - Elena Tagliapietra.
