Roberto Edwards was born in Santiago, Chile in 1937. A photographer and entrepreneur, he founded the Cuerpos Pintados Experimental Workshop in 1981. The objective of Cuerpos Pintados is to explore, through direct body painting, the infinite potential for expression the human form offers. Roberto Edwards’s photographs capture the creative, spontaneous collaboration between the artist’s and their models. The resulting painted bodies become dynamic three-dimensional canvases with an unlimited range of forms, shapes and colors.
