About Bodypainting

Body painting is unique and very old. I love it because it is alive: the painted body can move,
dance, sing. From human skin you can create a 3D illusion, an alien, a building, you can
express feelings, a whole world, and this world will exist for a few hours, will stay in
your mind, and then it will disappear into the running water.

I have three parts: Bella as an artist, a woman and a person. Only one of those is
really female. The person and the artist are just thinking, feeling the energy river around
and the creative process. So, of course, these parts of me like androgynous art. If the Creator
does not have a gender, then why should art, being a creation, have a gender?

An interesting aspect of my body painting work is the removal of sexuality.
The most of my ­artworks contain genderless messages that call to both male and
female viewers with the same curious invitations.

At the beginning my body paintings were more decorative than my paintings.
Many of them were made for competitions. Now I am only interested in
the creation itself. I was creating androgynous art and I still do. The difference is
that now I work much more on the concept, the idea behind and I like to play with
the space around, so the body will be a part of the whole atmosphere. At the moment
I do not just paint on bodies. I do contemporary body transformations.
