Body painting o pintura corporal es una técnica donde el cuerpo es el lienzo. Para ello se utilizan pigmentos de base acuosa u oleosa, que se aplican sobre la piel. La pintura se funde con el cuerpo, dando como resultado una obra de arte en movimiento.
A diferencia del tatuaje y otras formas de arte corporal, body painting es temporal. Se pinta sobre la piel humana y tiene una duración de un día, o como máximo (en el caso de Mehndi, “henna” o tatuajes temporales, tatuajes tipo “brillo”), un par de semanas.
Body painting es una forma de body art. El cual utiliza el cuerpo humano como forma de expresión artística
El body painting fue una de las primeras formas de expresión del ser humano. En las culturas indígenas precolombinas, africanas y orientales era tradición el uso de pigmentos naturales para decorar el cuerpo. Los mismos se extraían del carbón, arcilla, madera, tiza y sangre de animales.
En las tribus el body art representaba un factor fundamental en la vida social y espiritual. Así mismo constituía un elemento principal en los ritos:
– Nacimiento de un niño
– Camuflaje para la guerra y la caza
– La muerte
– Cuando un niño se convierte en adulto
– Matrimonios
– Durante la celebración de rituales.
Algunas Ceremonias aún se celebran de manera tradicional, entre los indígenas de Australia, Nueva Zelanda, las islas del Pacífico, algunas partes de África, India y Japón.
El body art también demuestra la posición de una persona en un determinado grupo representando:
– Posición
– Símbolo del poder
– Logros y experiencia
– Protección de las fuerzas del mal
– Demostración de valentía y belleza
– Luto
– Símbolo que conecta con los espíritus de los animales o la tierra
