Hands as Objects of Art

(an exhibit of artistically enhanced hands showing creative marvels)

Artist Guido Daniele's hand-painted illusions are unique.

When Italian artist Guido Daniele was hired by an advertising agency to create paintings of animals on human bodies, he was enthusiastic about the concept. Daniele said, "I researched each animal in depth to see how I could transfer it to a hand, and then set about bringing it to life."

More information about Italian artist Guido Daniele is available at his web site.

His paintings take an average of three to four hours to complete. The first time Daniele painted the eagle with outstretched wings it took him ten hours to finish.

One of the most difficult things about his creations is to see them disappear down the drain after they're photographed. "I'm getting used to it," Daniele shrugs. "At least I get to start each day with a fresh canvas."
