Body painting artist Johannes Stötter from South Tyrolian has baffled people once again with her work. In his latest work, the internationally famous artist transformed model Sara Costabile into a sea turtle! Looking at the video, it is too hard to believe that the turtle is a human being. The video shows a turtle swimming in bright blue sea water near the bed. Johannes is known for transforming models to look like reptiles.
He has also painted models to look like a monkey, dog, parrot, fish, lizard and even a frog. The perfection of Johannes' artforms is highly commendable. Her life-like animal forms can easily be passed off as the real ones. Her Instagram photos even show how she transformed a model into a high red heel.

In an interview with Italian Shoes, Johannes said that his designs began as simple sketches which he later tried on a person. He was quoted as saying, "The idea just came to me out of the blue. I thought it would be interesting to paint a human body. At the time, I knew nothing about body painting: I had never even heard of it, I had seen no photos, I didn’t know if any special paints existed. Two or three years later, I had the opportunity to try it out, and I instantly knew that I had found my calling. You can read more about the artist here on his official website.
