She's a wallflower! Artist 'disappears' by painting her body to match the colourful backdrop

By Lauren Paxman

At first glance, Cecilia Paredes' artwork just looks like pictures of particularly colourful wallpaper. But look a little closer and the bold, floral images start to take on a human form.

The Peruvian artist experiments with her own body by painting designs on herself to blend into various backgrounds.

In the past, she has transformed herself into animals, plants or her surroundings simply by using body paint.

Now you see her: Often Cecilia Paredes' hair is the only thing that gives her form away in her artworks

Now you don't: Peruvian artist Ms Paredes' whole body fades into the background

Her latest work sees her fade into the background in a series called 'Landscapes' and it has proved so popular that her website has crashed because of the volume of people wanting to get a closer look at the images.

The collection shows parts of her body - mainly her back and her hands - painted in the same design as the wallpaper she is standing infront of.

Working just like camouflage, the effect makes it hard to distinguish Ms Paredes from the wallpaper.

Her hair is often the only thing that makes her form visible.

Absract design: This striking image features a pleated skirt which was made from the same wallpaper as the backdrop

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.

Ms Paredes, a mother-of-two who lives in Philadelphia with her husband, composer Jay Reise, 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.'

Ms Paredes says: 'I wrap, cover or paint my body with the same pattern of the material and "re-present" myself as part of the landscape'

Hidden hands: This striking wallpaper is rendered all the more dramatic becaue of the arms that are pointing at the flowers

Changing perspectives: The photographs will change the way you look out outdated wallpaper

Lady in Red: The most common pose in the photographs is this one, with Ms Paredes' painted back facing the camera

Surrounded: For some of the pictures, the artist has even covered the floor in wallpaper

Colour coordination: Ms Paredes rests her arms on top of each other - to make a perfect red flower - in this shot

Golden lady: Ms Paredes is painted with a black and gold motif and her body is decorated to match the wallpaper you can see a glimpse of to the left of the photograph

An artist will perform swimming pool acrobatics in an underwater wheelchair this week as part of the Cultural Olympiad celebrations.
Sue Austin, from Devon, has been wheelchair-bound since 1996 after contracting ME and has invented and helped create the world's first self-propelled underwater wheelchair with a team of diving experts.
In the lead up to the Paralympic Games Ms Austin has staged a series of stunning underwater scuba performances called 'Creating the Spectacle!' to show off her underwater art.

'Creating the Spectacle!' is part of the Cultural Olympiad celebrations and will demonstrate the incredible capabilities of the modified NHS wheelchair by weaving shapes deep in the ocean.
The chair is equipped with swimming floats, fins and two foot-controlled drive propulsion vehicles.

Ms Austin said: 'I'm thrilled that lots of people have been inspired by the project already, many of them telling me how seeing the wheelchair underwater has made them want to try it too.
'We've created something new and exciting and it's really getting people talking.
'As a result, they're realising that viewing the world from a different perspective inspires them to be free to explore new experiences.'
