What is Paintloon?
Paintloon is a creative idea of fine artist and body painter Bella Volen (Bulgaria, living in Austria) and balloon artist and designer Guido Verhoef(The Netherlands).
Paintloon is painting on a balloon. It is a combination of fine art, body painting and balloon sculpting. With latex modelling balloons details, objects, accessories or even complete costumes are made which creates an extension for the body paint or fine artist to paint on, allowing the ability to merge the body or composition fully with any additional parts into one design. |
