Over a span of three years, I immersed myself in various activities to better understand the local culture and artistry. At the heart of this exploration was Bali Brothers Guest House, where we orchestrated a series of events with a noble cause—the local orphanage. This Live Body Painting event, held in October 2020, became a powerful platform for raising awareness.

Entrepreneurs from the community showcased their sustainable products, and the restaurant’s kitchen reverberated with the preparation of International Italian delicacies. The collaboration extended beyond local businesses; cultural centers and artists actively participated, contributing their unique perspectives to the dialogue on environmental conservation.

“Plastic Sea” was more than just an event; it was a collective effort to merge artistic expression with a crucial message. By intertwining the visually striking medium of live body painting with the urgency of environmental conservation, we aimed to engage the community in a dialogue that transcended borders and cultures.

As we painted vibrant stories on living canvases, we hoped to inspire change, urging everyone to reconsider their relationship with single-use plastics. “Plastic Sea” stands as a testament to the power of art to catalyze environmental stewardship, reminding us that our actions, no matter how small, can collectively make waves of difference in the preservation of our precious oceans.

In a society bound by the constraints of modesty, “Chromatic Liberation” fearlessly confronts the apprehension surrounding nudity. The film delicately peels away the layers of discomfort and hesitation, exposing the raw canvas of the human form. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes a celebration of self-expression, breaking the shackles of societal norms.

Enter a realm where color becomes a language, and body painting emerges as the catalyst for profound metamorphosis. Each stroke of pigment is a brushstroke of courage, as the artists onscreen skillfully navigate the contours of the human body, transforming it into a living, breathing masterpiece.

The canvas for this extraordinary project was a courageous model, originally hailing from France, who steadfastly insisted on remaining at the location despite facing eviction by local authorities. Her determination became the catalyst for a breathtaking piece of art that would not only adorn her body but also symbolize resilience and the pursuit of personal freedom in the face of adversity.

The focal point of the body painting was a massive blue wave, meticulously crafted to splash over the model’s chest. This frontal depiction created a visual spectacle that mirrored the ebb and flow of life, an allegory for the challenges and triumphs experienced during a global lockdown. The blue wave, symbolizing the vastness of the ocean and the unpredictability of life’s currents, was a powerful metaphor for navigating the uncertainties of the times.

As the brush moved across the model’s skin, the blue wave was adorned with delicate flower patterns, tracing the contours of her body. The choice of flowers added a touch of nature and grace to the artwork, contrasting with the raw power of the depicted wave. The symbiosis of the wave and flowers conveyed a profound message—one of resilience and beauty emerging from the turbulence of the moment.
