Most visual artists stroke their brushes on textured papers, walls, and various objects to produce an exclusive piece. Nelly Recchia uses her unique talent to paint on models. Recchia is one of the most magical and talented makeup artists and body painters, I’ve ever seen!
Her work is described as being emotionally powerful and graceful. As Cecile Chebanse, from Ultime Beaute states, “There are many body painters but there is only on Nelly Recchia, whose body art is the incarnation of elegance. Her work definitely is the Haute Couture of body painting.”
Recchia uses the body as her canvas and when she has completed her project you would swear her brush strokes were transformed into fabric! As we see in her depiction of a butterfly! Recchia has provided progressive pictures to allow us to see the transformation!
Nelly Recchia has won numerous Body Art competitions, including International competitions. She was born and raised in France and recently moved to Los Angeles to achieve her dreams of becoming an artist. Since her move to L.A. she has achieved many accomplishments - like working with Katy Perry, Marilyn Manson, Britney Spears and Vogue Magazine. She has worked on sets of many music videos, (Vanessa Carlton - “A Thousand Miles”, Demi Lovatto - “Get Back”, and Christina Aguilera’s Dancers - “Genie in a Bottle”, just to name a few.) and fine art photography. Recchia has also collaborated with many hit TV shows such as America’s Next Top Model, and American Idol, not to mention many TV ads and print ads for Bacardi, Levi’s, Moschino, Christian Louboutin, and many more!
