This peculiar collection of body paint photos features a model covered in metallic paints and brightly colored hues. The photography team of Romano Decker and Dejan Kutic have essentially turned this model into a living breathing canvas. In some cases, she looks like she’s even wearing a sculpture.

One of these lovely beauty shots features the model painted up like a [proud peacock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers). She’s sporting spiky green hair and her face is covered in red and yellow paint. This shot is both vibrant and bold. In another shot, the model’s face is covered in a [shimmering golden paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-beach-shimmering-body) and she’s wearing an unusual head piece made of gold and pearls. In this body paint photo, the model looks like a [living sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-art-week).

Whether she’s covered in silver or painted in red, these bold beauty captures were not meant to be ignored.
