Basic information

The embryonic form of body painting originated from the patterns of indigenous people. For ancient humans, "tattoo" is a totem, a belief, at the cost of enduring the pain of flesh and blood. Body painting is that beauticians use colors to draw various patterns on people's limbs, similar to what painters usually draw on canvas. Painting with oil paints is different. The carrier of painting art is a dynamic and vital human body, and it is a flowing and three-dimensional art work. Body painting brings strong visual impact and challenges traditional aesthetic concepts.
