This is my first "more than my face" bodypainting. I always loved to express myself through art and I must admit that the nerdy me kept a souvenir from this session: the bra. Yeah, you're probably smiling reading this, but I didn't want to wash it after all of the hours of work (5+ hours, I had a rough time in the shower washing this art off of my body 🚿) , I wanted to keep it as a memory from my first more vast bodypainting.
When I will be old I will look at the bra laughing, knowing how fun my painting sessions were. Who knows, maybe I'll frame it and turn it into a weird work of art to give future generations something to laugh about😂🎨 Yeah, I'll be a cool funky grandma when I will show off this unwashed piece of bra covered by my art. Yeah, I will keep it unwashed for decades, I'm that proud of my first more complex bodyart 😂👀Hopefully I will find and keep a granpa just as cool as me and we'll both laugh about it. Anyway, let's get back to this bodypainting and see what it means.
I imagined a lovely fairy. I named this Forest Fairy because it represents a magical creature roaming around in the woods, protecting the forest. I am a big admirer of nature and I always make time to recharge my batteries in the tranquility of the forest.
I believe that we as humans need moments of silence. Moments of sitting alone with our thoughts and making sense of everything that happened to us. I love doing this kind of art because it allows my mind to wander. If trees could speak, I wonder what stories they would tell. If rocks would whisper, how many secrets would they reveal? We think that we are the master dominators of this Planet when actually, if you take a piece of rock in your hand, that is the confirmation of the fact that you've been here for far too little to pretend you know and control so much. A tree might outlive you and so will a rock.The tiny pebbles from a beach will be here long after you're gone and they've been here before you were born. Think about that. Rivers and waters carry along the legacy of the past. How many people walked on the same path as you ? What existed on your way to work 1000 years ago? Have you ever wondered? What's under your bed, under the concrete, under the soil, up to the Earth's core?
The nature and this Earth are so vast I can't imagine having enough time to explore them. By foot and in my mind. To understand the value of the things you have around and take for granted is an important lesson to teach from an early age. We can all act like a Forest Fairy by the way we treat nature. Respecting Mother Earth as it is, standing in awe and admiration in front of a simple tree shows superior intelligence. We should understand the fact that we are mere visitors here and it's a sign of evolution to leave a place better than you've found it.
P. S. Talking about the Universe... I just listened to this awesome podcast and my mind is just bathing in questions, ideas, visions. If you are into science, space stuff and you wonder about the meaning of life, then you'll love this as much as I did. This is music for the mind.
Have an awesome day and toodle loo!
