A painted body is a poster that moves. As a body painter in Barcelona I paint models, dancers or actors for exhibitions, trade fairs, brand launches, shows, photo shoots and productions. Every design is made for that body and that occasion.
Formats
Custom Body Paint
Animals, creatures, painted clothing, geometry, monochrome, your logo or your campaign. I work from the design you bring me or build one from your idea. For private or maternity photo shoots, editorials, performances or events.
For a makeup booth at your event, see the UV Bar or the Glitter Bar.
Body Paint with prosthetics
I design and make prosthetics (horns, scales, cheekbones, whatever the character needs) and work them into the paint. The result has volume: a character that reads from any angle. It’s the option when the production or the event wants a complete character.
Live body painting show
Here I don’t paint backstage. I paint live, in front of the audience, with a booth set up as part of the event. People stop to watch the paint cover the model’s skin. It works at trade fairs, brand launches, festivals or exhibitions.
UV Body Paint
Under blacklight a painted body stops being a body: it turns into light that dances. For music videos and productions, I coordinate with the director of photography so the design responds to the UV you’ll be using on set. For performances, dance shows, circus or night-time activations, I design with volume and contrast so it reads from the audience. Also for photo shoots: I bring the UV lamps to the photographer’s studio or the location.
The venue needs a UV blacklight setup and the option to go fully dark. Without that, blacklight makeup doesn’t stand out. If in doubt, send me a photo of the room and I’ll tell you whether it works.

FAQ
How is a Body Paint priced?
By the design and the area to cover. Partial is one zone, like the back or torso. Half body is from the waist up. Full is the whole body. Once the design is settled I send a tailored quote.
How long does a full body take to paint?
It depends on the detail and whether it includes prosthetics. Partial or half body takes less than a full body. I give you the exact time with the design so you can plan the session or the show.
Can I choose any design?
Yes. I adapt a design you have in mind or create one from scratch from your idea, your theme or your brand.
What do you need at the venue?
Good light, natural or from lamps. Running water, a socket and a chair. For UV Body Paint, the option to switch the lights off and a blacklight to check the effect. In winter, heating so the model is comfortable.
Can UV Body Paint be done outdoors?
Yes, if it's fully dark and the area has enough blacklight lamps. Any conventional light nearby kills the effect.
How does it come off?
Soap and water. The model usually showers afterwards. If the design includes prosthetics, I remove them and clean up if the project needs it.
Can I have body paint done while pregnant?
Yes. It's done with water-based cosmetic paints that come off with soap and water, no solvents. The session runs with breaks, in a warm room. Seated, if needed. If you have any doubt about your own case, check with your doctor before booking.
Where do you do it?
Wherever you need, in Catalonia or the rest of Spain: photo studio, private room, trade fair, event, film set. Travel is included in the quote.
