Dani Fonseca, a native to the lively city of New York, can usually be found expressing her artistic visions, ideas and stories on and through the human form. Starting her company The Body of Art in 2005, she is one of the most sought after body painters in the tri-state area, commonly hired to create installation for events, videos, and private clientele. Her most commonly known creation was the skeleton look on Lady Gaga’s face in her self-expressed anthem “Born This Way”. Dani’s lifetime work is constantly examining and challenging the often-misperceived boundaries of authentic expression. Although her medium has quite often been body painting, makeup, props and installation, there is no one medium that captures her exploration and exposition of this visceral, powerful vulnerability.
