Lise Tao ( Body painter )

"I believe in the energies that circulate in every human being".

At the beginning of 2009, I participated as an artist in the
collective "Nice 2 Paint You!" in Paris, during 3 years I developed my
visual eyes. Throughout several events held together with the other
painters, I learned by observing the process of creation and relying on
my intuition, on what I felt, to find the style that best corresponded
to me. I found my inspiration in the ornamental of ancient
civilizations, tribal signs of South American art, but also in the
traditional, ethnic, and symbolic art of our world, in the sacred
the geometry of nature.


In 2013, I started my red path and committed myself to the dance of
the moon, developing a process of transformation and internal
transmutation over the last 10 years. With my paintings, I try to
connect with people through the sense of touch, "awakening their
souls".


Today, both paths and experiences come together to offer what I call
"Positif Bodypaint", I am convinced that each painting is a therapy
that can lead to the healing of the person who receives the painting
on his or her body. Painting the body is an ancestral act that has
existed since the beginning of humanity.


I lead workshops for groups, at different festivals and private
events, private body painting sessions with photography.



My vision

"The journey is my teacher. My art is a way of telling. The search for
meaning, my spirituality. I undertake the journey as a painting, I
explore the matter and the colors of the body, like countries. I
listen to the body and its messages. The word of the elders guides me
through each element, air, earth, fire, and water and they all become
my cardinal points. The ancient worlds allow me to understand the
contemporary world. Song and dance give me my place as a sacred woman.
I experience the reason for existence and write about life. The
journey becomes a rite of passage".
