^{EN: This facepaint is inpired by the homonym song by the band "Marta sui Tubi" (ft. Lucio Dalla). I advice you to read the lyrics to fully comprehend the concept! I hope you like it!

Even without the background information about this piece, it is apparent that it exemplifies beauty. People always view beauty as clean perfect, but this is better. It's messy, yet elegant. It makes the viewer truly feel as if they are looking at the most beautiful, lovelorn girl in the world. And in fact, they are. I find this deviation to be the epitome of creativity, and the fact that this artist was able to make it out of pure inspiration from a song.

The main concern and trouble for artists is not being able to put what they see in their mind into the real world. But even though I cannot read the mind of the artist, I have a feeling that this goes above and beyond their original vision. Lovely work.

What do you think?

"When they tried
The light made a big jump and ran away
Red and yellow and went to their place there was only one fire is out
Where the green grass is now only pretending
That violates the balance of Enchantment
drowned in a big blue sea all white

the light took a breath to breath, then rose and gave it
to those fans who were hiding in a black heart
light covering of the sky
and turned around to see if
There is always need a reason
to love."

Truly you have captured the song as the last part of it (in translation) shows in it words, the swirl of color upon the living canvas of your body that expresses it. Truly you are inspired here, giving careful attention so that the splash of colors are harmonious and not arbirtrary. It is that disciplined approach which creates a sublime visual tribute to that song. I hope you will no be so modest as to not bring this to Marta Sui Tubi's attention. They would be honored to see this! My only quibble is that you never use your entire body as the canvas. You could have further encapsulated the entire song with a greater tableau! Brava!
