Face painting in Virginia Beach, VA

Face painting is the art of applying cosmetic paint to a person's face to create designs, patterns, or characters.

Face painting has a disproportionate symbolism across the world in different cultures. It has significance in religious or cultural traditions, art forms, military, hunting, and artistic purposes. Ancient and medieval tribes strongly believed that these artistic paintings carry mystical powers, such that they even painted their horses and hounds to make them look fierce and intimidating.

The Native American Indian tribes painted a zigzag on their horses to represent lightning, which supposedly added power to the animal. Every mark on the face and body of the native american had meaning. Face painting signified they had changed, they were reborn, and had new relationships, new obligations and new responsibilities.


The semiotics of face painting is not random nor drawn out of creative instincts of the artists. It is more an expression of collective beliefs and artistic manifestations of a given community. The wide range of patterns that a face painter creates can enhance the emotions and meaning of cultural events. The colors used can be random or be created specifically for certain geographic locations. The shapes and colors used can show a strong bond among people of a community with a tradition of face painting. It is used mainly to enhance an event that is celebrated culturally or otherwise.
