Body Art Martha Pranckuviene

Martha Pranckuviene is a relative newcomer in the bodyart world, having always been involved in Art in one way or another, she finally took the plunge 2 years ago and focused her goals and life around her tattooing and bodyart. She trained in Henna Tattooing in Camden in London in the late 90s, an influence that is still evident in her work today.

Having U.V bodypainted and facepainted as a side project at dance gigs in clubs in Ireland in the late 90s, she gave up painting to work with children, running arts workshops and projects. She continued to paint on canvas and has exhibited in Galleries and Art centres around Ireland. Bodypainting was always her first love and is completely self taught in bodyart.

TWINS OF LIGHT – Yair Moreno Escobar (Yamore)

By ILoVe | Published 09/20/2012

Yair Moreno Escobar best known as YAMORE in the art world, was born in Bogota, Colombia and now resides in Santiago de Cali. From an early age Yair showed a great interest in pictorial art and his natural artistic skills range from illustration, portraiture, caricature and murals. Over the last few years he has also added body painting to his artistic portfolio. Yair recently got in to contact with us via the ILovebodyart facebook page and when he showed us this beautifully detailed bellypaint on an expectant mother of twins we asked him to tell us how it can about.

“This is the second bellypaint I’ve done in my life, and is also the most special so far, has the burden magic, the subject, the feeling of the people involved, merely symbolize the beauty of the conception of life itself is already a special factor,to feel how they moved with every stroke its something so hard to explain when it comes to words..wow!! this process about 6 hours is the meaning of peace and tranquility that comes when there is life in chaos …. but even when the effect is multiplied by 2, has an important value for the model in this case and for the people and close relatives in her life, represented here in .. forest animals such as bear, butterfly, pink dolphin and others, who welcome these two princes who brought immense joy and love since leaving a flower, a warm replandor feels and looks .. Thanks to these “light twin” God bless you all” – Yair Moreno Escobar (YAMORE)
