Pinta Figuras: A headress and body painting competition
Winners in Body Painting and Headress.
It never ceased to amaze people how artists could render their crafts in different media and much more if it is the human body that serves as the artist's canvass.
As part of the 29th Masskara Festival, the ARFIEN Department of La Consolacion College held the "Pinta Figuras, a Headress and Body Painting Competition at the fountain area in Robinson's Place Bacolod on October 5, 2008. It is one of the most significant and anticipated events of the Masskara Festival.
The crowd gathered and the shoppers momentarily had a break in the middle of their shopping spree as they took a glimpse at the fountain area where the artists are doing the actual body paintings of their subjects.
Models were covered with multi-colored hues in uniquely stylish patterns that were carefully planned to the last detail and skillfully painted in their bare skin. To complete the competition, richly designed headdresses were emphasized transforming each model a living work of art.
The audience enjoyed the show as the candidates marched individually with proper introduction. Doing their killer pose to impress the judges made the crowd roar for excitement.
The College of Fine Arts and production staff has truly provided great entertainment to enliven the Masskara celebration.
