Italian artist Golsa Golchini is known for creating small masterpieces of painting on unusual canvases. In her latest series of works, she transforms her own hand into a work of art; realistic renditions of tiny figures, animals, objects and landscapes cover her fingers, palms and wrists.
Golchini uses this incompatible “canvas” as an advantage for her artistic conception: her strange compositions “come to life” as they interact with her own body. For example, in a work the artist paints around two of her toes, making them look like a pair of legs. Or, he adds a tiny silver chain to the middle to seemingly hang a crib on which is a girl with blue hair.
The limitations of painting on one part of the body do not dampen the imagination of the Italian artist. On the contrary, her new series of works proves that there are countless works that one can add on one’s own skin: Golsa Golchini paints two zebras grazing, “eating” the green dye in her palm and thus incorporates in her work cleverly unpainted areas. Or, in another work, a solitary figure cleans the center of the palm from the blue paint, having fallen to the knees and rubbing.
