Liu Bolin is a Chinese artist who masters the body painting technique. He knows how to paint himself so well that he literally blends in with his surroundings. He usually creates by finding a suitable background, choosing colors and starting painting himself. He has already stood in front of the Chinese flag, in front of the train, in front of various buildings, in front of trees, and sometimes he also sits down or lies down on the ground. In his last project, however, he painted other bodies and created replicas of two recognizable art paintings from the painted bodies.
Liu Bolin it is an unusual artist, which the nickname caught on The invisible man. He handles it so well body painting technique, to be able to blend in completely with the surroundings. But the last project master of camouflage is different. This time he did not become one with the surroundings, but instead created a replica of the famous Picasso painting Guernica (1937) and da Vinci Mona Lisa (1503).
Just like famous painters, he tackled them with brushes, but in contrast to them, he applied the colors to the canvas instead of human bodies.
