This is not a parrot. It’s not a macaw either. It’s actually a person, whose body has been painted by 2012 Body painting world champion Johannes Stötter (featured previously).
While models must remain still for long periods of time, the paint itself is breathable. The fine art body painter from South Tyrol, Italy is also an accomplished musician. You can see some process shots below (courtesy of WB Production). If you happen to be in London from May 16 – 18, 2014, Johannes is running a workshop in conjunction with WB Production. You can find tickets online here.
To see more incredible artworks by Stötter, be sure to check out our post from last year, as well as Johannes’ website and Facebook page.
