‘My Body My Rights’ – Body Paintings by Hikaru Cho
0Talented Japanese artist, Hikaru Cho , took part in Amnesty International’s global campaign ‘My Body My Rights’ by creating a series of stunning body paintings.
The series depicts real people with incredibly realistic illustrations painted on their skin,as a part of the ‘My Body My Rights’ campaign. Using just paint and a paintbrush, Hikaru Cho somehow manages to create amazing body paintings that trick the eye and replace normal body parts with evocative imagery.
Even though these paintings might remind you of characters out of a horror movie, they actually carry a much deeper meaning and depict real-life problems that people face.
