The year 2002 was an extraordinary year for the body painting art scene, marked by outstanding events and major collaborations. Among them, the “Italian Body Painting Festival” left an indelible imprint. The event, hosted in Rome’s vibrant Ostia-Lido, featured the likes of Carlo Saggy, Mr. Freddy, Guido Daniele, Samantha Peluso, Amanda Thomell, Monica Bonompagni, Giorgio Landi, Maurizio Bellinzas, Inca, Miriam Artefatti, Elisa Cordella, Simona Ferri and Ennio Bettoni. These talents have turned skin into a living canvas, proving that body painting is a sophisticated and deeply expressive art form.
In the same year, the “European Body Painting Festival” featured my participation in the professional brush and sponge category. In this prestigious competition, held in Seeboden, Austria, I achieved a remarkable 4th place, confirming my talent and dedication to the art of body painting on a European scale.
In the commercial field, I worked with Ag. Rita Axon as make-up artist and body painter for the presentation of jewelry of famous brands such as Bulgari, Damiani, Ghopard and Cavalli. This exclusive event was held at Villa Zanchi, an enchanting location in the province of Bergamo, where I did a striking snake-themed body painting.
I also worked with Altramoda Milan, a leading fashion company, where I demonstrated my versatility as a make-up artist and body painter. For them, I made a bold advertisement, painting a dragon tattoo on a model at the renowned Super Studio 13 in Milan.
These key moments in 2002 reflect not only my artistry, but also my ability to adapt to different needs and contexts, proving that body painting is an art that can enrich and transform any event or advertising campaign.
