HOLY COW THIS WOMAN'S INCREDIBLE!!! what a creative idea! she does these beautiful paintings of people!... there's a catch though! 

instead of painting a picture of a person on a canvas, she actually paints a WALL, and a FLOOR, and she literally puts PAINT ON A PERSON'S FACE and then photographs that person in the painted background! 

when i saw her work i thought it was a lie! my husband came upon her on the internet and called me over to look at these pieces and he was trying to explain to me her process and i just wasn't understanding! after THREE tries, it finally clicked that she's painting ONTO real life objects! and it looks incredible! 

check it out, but prepare for your brain to go into OVERDRIVE for a moment! http://alexameade.com/index.html
