Body Paint made to look like a Painting on Canvas

A different take on Body Painting, that attaches an Illusion component to the art piece.
Alexa Meade, originally started on a totally different career path, she studied political science and was going to become a politician. When it came to finding a job, she had feeling that this, was not what she was meant to do and opted instead, for a career in the arts. There are many politicians in the world, but not many artists that do what she does, at the level she does it. Meade gets sets and people then, paints them in a way that fools our eyes into believing that they are 2D images, when in fact they are 3D. There are also 2 images of her in body paint, looking at a painting or reflection of herself, hope this makes sense when you see the images below. Amazing art that turns perception on its head. A link to more of Meade's work, here on DesignStack, below.
