Impressive Body Art by Emma Fay

[Carmen Elsa Irarragorri Wyland]

Emma Fay's body art is mesmerizing. She brilliantly combines her creativity and skills with some incredibly flexible and patient models, creating realistic works of art. In her technique, she uses a brush and sponge to apply the water-based paints to the human body. The finished product, as you're about to see, is incredibly impressive - there's also an element of optical illusion in her work too, making her

art all the more remarkable.

See more of her art, and hear her talk about her passion in the video below:

 Pictured above, an ultra-flexible model was transformed into a super-sized spider. It took Emma, five hours of intricate work to create the incredible detail.

The back of a model was the inspiration for this one.

She has been body painting for five years and has created a series of images to celebrate the marvels of nature.

Prior to proceeding with her art work, Emma asks the contortionists to get into the initial pose. At this stage, she marks out where the outline will be.

The contortionists can only hold the pose for five-seconds. In this crucial time, she has to work quickly and ensure that she will get it right. 

As you can see above and below, she also uses the human body to create objects and landscape scenes.
