Mario Testino

Simple yet beautiful!

something i want to create is the idea of the body being a human canvas.the idea of play with the body.the circus is all about colour and fun!

theatrical idea of man wearing lipstick i though very circus like.if i get anything from this image its the idea of playing with the face and playing with the unconventional 'normal'

oranges!!!

mosies is an artist based in NYC and his work is bright and unique,he mixes painting with makeup,he paints onto the face like he would paint onto a canvas.I am particularly interested in his work as i am looking at creating something very colourful and contoured.i love his clown like images yet they are beautiful,the brush strokes each thought out.
Moises's work reminds me of Alex box's work for Illamasqua as her works are pieces of art.finding ispiration from art rather than beauty.


I love the way he has chopped at the hair the look goes strongly with the makeup.very striking.

a beautiful piece of work.playful yet clown like.

I love the way the paint looks almost random yet where they have been placed is creating contour.

I particularly enjoyy these two images and would like to try the in depth contouring of the face.i love the rushed brush strokes over the face.the idea of an artist getting into his work.

striking colours against the black background.
Something i will need to think about is how i want my images photographed.what background i want to best show off my work.



Another clown like circus inspired image.

Makeup be karla Powell




I loved this image when i first saw it then i came across the progression of the image and loved this idea.the idea that each image tells a story.



I love the playful poses.



I am really feeling inspired by the splats and dashes of paint going over the body.



love the strokes going across the chest and contouring under the cheek bones.
