Alexa Meade makes paintings that breathe.
The Los Angeles-based artist creates mind-boggling works of art on a walking, talking canvas humans.
She paints directly onto the bodies and faces of models, using brushstrokes and shadows to camouflage figures into their background, turning a 3D scene into a 2D image.
She then captures each incredible illusion in a series of photographs. Her newest collection features actress Dominika Juillet posing for a 12-image calendar series. The project was inspired by vintage American pin-up posters.
