What happens when world-class body art meets the power of artificial intelligence? Pure magic.

Professional bodypainting artist Johannes Stötter has stunned audiences worldwide with his jaw-dropping illusions—turning live models into living works of art inspired by nature. You’ve probably seen his legendary tropical frog made of five human bodies—a piece that went viral and became an icon of modern body art.

Now, his creations take on a whole new dimension. In this special compilation, Johannes’s real-life bodypainting masterpieces come alive before your eyes… and then evolve even further through AI-generated transformations by digital animator David Addis.

A tiger emerges.
A chameleon shifts colors.
A high heel takes shape.
The famous frog returns.
And even a mountain landscape unfolds.

It’s a fascinating dialogue between human artistry and digital imagination—a celebration of both the incredible skill behind the paintbrush and the limitless possibilities of technology.
