What's your color?
Are you RED?
Are you GREEN?
Are you YELLOW?
BLUE?
PURPLE?
ORANGE?
I mean.. Who are you? Who do you love?
Love is about colors. Love is about how I feel when I meet someone I love
What color am I?
Am I straight? Am I gay? Does it really matter?
Does it really change the emotions that love brings to me?
I think we are identical
Hi everybody! I'm Paola Baccigalupo, I'm 26 years old, I'm Italian and I'm an artist!
I am doing the Academy of Fine Arts and I'm graduating next month.
I love people. I love drawing people, i love making portraits of people and i love painting directly ON people!
I do body painting since 2010 and i'm having a lot of fun actually!
Now, it's time to tell something important through art, through images and colors
I'm working on two LGBT projects now for my Master's degree
The title of the first one is "LOVE CAN BE COLORED"
It's about the rainbow flag
I took 6 people:
a gay man, a gay woman, a straight man, a straight woman, a bisexual man and a bisexual woman.
I painted all of them (yeh, the whole figure!) in a different color.
Everyone of them is associated with a color.
But you will never know, looking at the whole work, which one of them is the gay man, which one is the bisexual woman
You don't know. Because they are identical!
They have just been painted in different colors!
The other project is "DIFFERENT COLORS, SAME LOVE"
I took 3 couples:
a gay couple, a lesbian couple and a straight couple.
Love is the same
Each of them is painted with a color
For example Blue and Yellow
Then they kiss and another color comes out from their fusion
What's YELLOW + BLUE? GREEN!
I would love to print those project in giant dimension and high quality
I need your support.
Now, close your eyes and imagine
those projects in a small frame on the wall
Now try to imagine it
2 meters high and 5 meters wide in an art gallery
or maybe out in the street.
How is it?
If you believe in this project and decide to help me
I will be really thankful
You will get a present from me
and your name will be written in the next exhibition as a doner
and a supporter of the project
It's really important for me
and it's an important message for the whole world.
So thank you very much
and maybe if this project will have a future,
this world will be a little bit more colorful than now.
Bye bye!
CIAO!
