By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/the-artist-turns-naked-bodies-into-optical-illusions-with-wild-animals.htmlThe artist Emma Faye, who is engaged in body art, has created a series of paintings that at first glance seem to be ordinary portraits of animals. But if you look closely, it becomes clear that these paintings are painted directly on naked human bodies. With the help of water-soluble paints, Emma turns her models into realistic representatives of wildlife, including butterflies, crocodiles and cobras.
One of the artist's works is a series of ten images called "Union of Yoga" (Union of Yoga). She painted her paintings on the naked bodies of models, each of which is in a certain yoga asana.
Emma Faye painstakingly painted the body of each model, and her partner Jonathan McAuley photographed the result. According to the artist, the series explores the possibility of combining her art with spiritual practice.
With the help of her yoga models, Emma managed to create accurate images of each asana.
The final photo requires the model to accurately hold the pose, but the artist says that the models did not have to hold this body position for the entire time.
The models depict not only animals: one of them is in the pose of the sacred bodhi tree, and the other is in the lotus position.
Some artists are scared off by the temporary nature of body art, but for Emma this is only a plus.
