Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

April 14, 2015 / 0 Comments

Don’t be fooled by the picture below. What looks like a chameleon balancing carefully on a branch, is in fact two carefully painted female models, cleverly pieced together to create this amazing illusion.

It is the work of Italian artist Johannes Stoetter.   The 37-year-old has previously transformed his models into parrots, snakes, leopards and frogs, but he believes this may be his most intricate and impressive piece to date.

Using water-based body paint on the naked models he created this multicoloured effect, then intertwined and placed the women together to form the shape of a chameleon.  The models then rested on a bench holding a green branch in the air beneath them to finish off the illusion.

Speaking about The Chameleon, he said: ‘I worked about four days to design the motif bigger and paint it with colours.The body painting took me about six hours with the help of an assistant. There are different difficulties on different levels as in every work, but I think that my passion and love to my work is so big, that I figure out a way to deal with difficulties. My main inspirations are nature, my personal life-philosophy, every-day-life and people themselves.’

The models were photographed and videoed quickly which you can see below.

Johannes has developed his painting style and his body painting technique over the last 6 years and has won many awards for his talents, becoming World champion in 2012, Vice World Champion in 2011 and 2014, Italian Champion in 2011 and 2013, winner of the North American Bodypainting Championship, Atlanta, Georgia, USA in 2013 and Winner of the “International Fine Art Bodypainting Award” in 2014.

Today Johannes teaches Bodypainting at the World Bodypainting Academy – at the WBF (World Bodypainting Festival) as well as around the world.
