Athena Zhe: Painting a Canvas 1 That Lives and Breathes 雅典娜哲:画油画、生活和呼吸


Athena Zhe grew up in Ukraine wanting to paint for the rest of her life.


Her parents, however, wanted her to become a lawyer or a doctor.


When she was 14, Athena moved to the United States. Working at a health food store, Athena painted on the menu boards. A customer notice her artistic 2 talents and asked if she would help paint faces at street fairs.


From that day on, Athena never looked back. She went from painting faces to painting human bodies.


“I love to create. I’m very visual person and I love to paint. I love to express myself in doing makeup 3, special effects, body paintings. I feel like I haven’t worked a day in my life.”


The world of body painting is a fine art. As we watched Athena paint, she transformed a human into a work of art. While face-painting takes about 15 to 20 minutes, body-painting can take as long as 10 hours.


So we stayed.


And we watched.


And we hope you are as mesmerized 4 as we were.
