Body Painting Performance for Dani M & ADAAM
Body Painting Performance for Dani M & ADAAM
Tempera and fluorescent paint on canvas
Commissioned for Swedish hip-hop artists Dani M and ADAAM, this painting was created as the official cover artwork for their single Baddie, with the painting process filmed for the song's promotional campaign.
The artwork combines expressive portraiture, abstract painting, and live performance. Instead of traditional brushes, I use my body as the primary painting tool, pouring and splashing paint onto the canvas through movement to build layers of vibrant color. The portraits are then developed by hand, emerging from the abstract composition.
The technique embraces spontaneity and unpredictability, allowing movement and unexpected marks to become part of the creative process. Fluorescent paint adds another dimension, making the artwork glow under UV light.
