Luminous Body Art Lights Up Creativity

Glowing with creativity, artist Gesine Marwedel turns a model into a walking neon light show in Dortmund, Germany. This masterpiece features glow-in-the-dark paint that traces patterns resembling the human vascular system. From the blue legs that could pass for the body’s lower veins to the orange torso echoing the vibrant lifeblood pathways, this artwork lights up the dark in fascinating ways.

Of course, this may be a piece of art that’s best appreciated in the dark. Speaking of veins, did you know the human body houses thousands of them? Along with arteries and capillaries, they form an impressive 60,000-mile network—that’s long enough to circle the Earth more than twice!
