The Interview…..

We meet Brazillian born Body Painter, Marcio Karam and we ask him how he got the bodypainting bug ….

“I was born in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and as a boy my first passion was surfing but then I found paint and began painting surf/skateboards,first for myself and then for my friends. The opportunity then came for me to move to the USA where surfing took a back seat and Art took over as my new meaning for life. As a young artist I had and tried many ideas and artforms; oil painting, acrylics, watercolor but in the end Airbrush became my media of choice and my father bought me my first full airbrush set up – I was in heaven.

I later graduated with a degree in commercial arts and illustration, and then went on to work freelance and for various ad agencies until I felt I had he honed my skills and decided to go it alone. I opened my first studio MKARTS & DESIGN. That’s when the art went wild, painting cars, bikes, boats, canvases and much more for clients, movies, tv commercials and anybody that wanted custom art, there was nothing that I wouldn’t paint, My motto was “if you bring it to my shop i’ll paint it!”

As the studio grew the art kept getting better and better and soon I discovered a new medium ‘People’. I started body painting models for photoshoots, tv ,print, car shows and conventions and pretty much any job you could think of and I now run my studio in South Florida with a couple of other artists and focus on creating some of the wildest body art on some beautifull Models. I love taking this art to a new level”
