Painting hands by Mario Mariotti

For all the peoples of the world's hands are a critical communication tool. Children use them to know the artists to create, to heal the doctors and everyone, especially us Italians, we use to express ourselves. Have you ever thought how many concepts can only communicate with the movement of a hand?
Mario Mariotti has turned his hands into works of art. Abandoning their traditional role they are transformed into a peacock or a leopard, a player, rather than a musician.
Italian artist, Mario Mariotti can generate cool pictures by painting his hands. I have gathered a collection of some of his art work. Below are few amazing pictures that Mario created.

Amazing Body Painting Festival

The body painting is the expression literally "live the union of art with the human anatomy", and another part is to portray the beautiful. The art is not yet widespread in Brazil, but is strong in countries such as Australia, Germany and France, where, incidentally, a very tender valued by artists engaged in this painting. In Portugal is already much seen and even are shops where you can go and do one.
The body painting, also called the makeup artist (or body painting, in English), each part of the body turns into an element of work, whose result is the beauty of the whole.

The makeup artist is different from the makeup of characterization (theater, cinema or TV) mainly because the concern is not to transform a person in character, but cause a visual effect, an expression of beauty. The body painting stems, of the effects obtained with plastic visual elements as line, shape, color, volume and texture, as well as the principles of organization, composition, balance, harmony, rhythm and movement. The technical field of the design is one of the fundamental tools to perform this work.

In body painting, the makeup artist explores the sensitivity and creativity together with techniques of artistic composition, drawing, painting and cosmetics specific, appropriate to the practice of art. Before the resources available today, one of the ways that artists use to tackle the paint for the body of water was mixed with paste food coloring, or baby oil or almonds with pigments. Unfortunately almost all products used today for the makeup artists are imported and expensive. Therefore some aberrations occur in the use of some paintings based on the oil paint with latex and to the consequent burning of the skin, allergies and other symptoms.

The makeup used on body painting should be made with water neutral folder, so non toxic, and non toxic if eaten. Even so, the red should be avoided in the eyes and mouth, since the pigment that results in color comes from an insect produced in a laboratory.
A disadvantage of body painting, is that it is an ephemeral art. It takes hours to be designed, outlined the role, embodied in human anatomy and, if not registered as a photographic image or film, no one else can admire it.
