SPECTACULAR BODY ART
FROM COLOURFUL autumn leaves to living trees at first glance you might miss these people blended with nature. The spectacular images are in fact nothing but the human body, transformed into these rare masterpieces. The amazing body art created by Italian body painter Johannes Stotter, 35, started when his passion for drawing led him into discovering his talent. 'This type of art just comes naturally to me,' said Johannes.'I think the secret of every good work is love and passion for it.'I love painting and do it a lot, it was always more important for me than everything else
