Bio

Magdalena O’Connor Founded Desireline Studios in 2018.

Magdalena is a Sculptor, Welder, Body Painter, and Special Effects Artist.

An innovative body painter, Magdalena has been active in the body art community since 2006 and retrained as a welder/fabricator in 2014. Their current practice is primarily sculptural with a focus on knowledge sharing and use of recycled materials.

The relationship between body paint and sculpture.

On the surface, a steel sculpture doesn’t seem to have much in common with body painting and make-up artistry; however, the two disciplines inform and enhance each other. The human body is the most dynamic sculptural form in existence.

Body Art is collaborative by nature. Sharing the experience of transformation with other humans is wonderful & through this work, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and collaborating with some of the most talented and creative human beings.
