Camouflaged self-portraits by Cecilia Paredes. The artist uses her own body and body paints to blend into the background of floral wallpaper.
Wallflower - Artist Paints Herself To Blend Into The Background
An artist experiments with her own body by painting designs on herself to blend into various backgrounds. 

Cecilia Parades transforms her body to become animals, plants or her surroundings simply by using body paint. 

Her latest work sees her body as the medium of floral designs in a series called 'Landscapes'. 

The collection shows parts of Cecilia's body painted in the same design as the background making her virtually invisible. 

The camouflaged pictures make it hard to distinguish Cecilia from the wallpaper with usually only the hair on her head making her shape visible. 

Highlights from the collection of photographs see the Peruvian artist's legs and skirt blending into the yellow abstract wallpaper; her back decorated with pink flowers and painted head to toe in large leaves and lilies. 

Cecilia who currently resides in Philadelphia, America said: "I wrap, cover or paint my body with the same pattern of the material and 're-present' myself as part of the landscape. 

"The illusion of 'disappearing' into the landscape that surrounds me is very exciting."
