How many people do you see in the picture?

35-year-old Italian artist Johannes Steuter at some point decided to replace the canvas with the human body. The decision, I must say, was very successful. Now he does not get tired to amaze the audience with new projects, constantly participating and winning in body painting competitions. His latest works were inspired by the motives of nature.
