Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Cindy Crawford or president Barack Obama – Jean-Luc Moerman covers the skin of photographed models, politicians or international jet-setters with his unique ornaments. Two entirely different worlds come together, he uses old master nudes such as Lucas von Cranach's Lucretia or Boticelli's Venus as the foundation for his tattoos. The original symbolism disintegrates, a new ironic, sarcastic, socio-critical or even worshipful meaning develops. With his biomorphic patterns on the bodies of seemingly immortal historical icons he expresses the transience of symbols.
