she is a wallflower

At first glance, Cecilia Paredes' artwork just looks like pictures of particularly colourful wallpaper. But look a little closer and the bold, floral images start to take on a human form. The Peruvian artist experiments with her own body by painting designs on herself to blend into various backgrounds. In the past, she has transformed herself into animals, plants or her surroundings simply by using body paint.
