	Bodypainting in Blacklight
Painting People Painting an organic, three dimensional and moving shape is a challenge. If a blacklight is added, things get even more exciting. As soon as the object starts to move, the painting moves along, coming to life. The challenge is to play with this and make use of it. The parts you don't paint will not appear in blacklight. They have no fluorescent pigment to reflect the light. The unpainted surfaces will stay black. That's interesting, because that way the unpainted parts of a three dimensional object don't exist in the dark. It feels like magic to turn a person into a seemingly other creature. This also counts for the so called 'belly-paints', painted bellies of pregnant woman. The magical aspect of the creation of a human creature becomes emphasized in a beautiful way. I accept assignments (including photo-shoots), so if you would like more information, please contact me.

An exposition in the dark

In a mysterious world of luminescent colours in the dark I feel very comfortable. The world and reality resemble a fairytale. I use this in my work by painting with two kinds of paint. This way a painting can have a totally different appearance during the day and during the night. You have two paintings in one.

The video on the right (a collaboration project) was captured in blacklight. It contains shots of my fluorescent paintings and objects. Eventually I created an exhibition with them. I organised this exhibition as a celebration of my wedding. A big article in the papers told people about this show, and it became truly mesmerizing.
