This work is a part of my Music collection, a mix of canvas painting, photographed with a body painted model in front of it holding a painted music instrument. This kind of body painting is called fine art body painting.
Fine art body painting is only about the creation itself. A delicate artwork, where the body and its possible sex appeal, gender and shapes are transformed into a canvas. Very often this style of work is combined with a painted background (in my case) or merging in a cityscape, landscape or a living situation. It could incorporate the space and objects into the artwork. There is a connection between fine art body painting, assemblage and the creation of illusions between 2 dimensional, and 3-dimensional surfaces. One of the main elements of this art movement is the harmony of shapes, rhythm, and colors.
Astrophysicist Karel Schrijver said:
"When the universe started, there was just hydrogen and a little helium and very little of anything else. Helium is not in our bodies. Hydrogen is, but that's not the bulk of our weight. Stars are like nuclear reactors. They take a fuel and convert it to something else. Hydrogen is formed into helium, and helium is built into carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, iron and sulfur—everything we're made of. When stars get to the end of their lives, they swell up and fall together again, throwing off their outer layers. If a star is heavy enough, it will explode in a supernova.
So most of the material that we're made of comes out of dying stars, or stars that died in explosions. And those stellar explosions continue. We have stuff in us as old as the universe, and then some stuff that landed here maybe only a hundred years ago. And all of that mixes in our bodies."
This work was created in 2013 in Vienna, Austria.
