So These Amorous Couples Actually Paid $2,500 To Get Themselves Messed Up All In The Name Of Art? (Photos)

A New York-based artist has been inviting amorous couples to make creative magic on his canvas by covering themselves in paint and letting their impulses get the better of them.

Alexander Esguerra leaves the couples in a completely private setting - no Andy Warhol-style voyeurism here - with low-lighting, candles and even a heated canvas.


He likens the idea to couples therapy but encourages his clients not to take it too seriously.

'Have fun with the paint, but don't make it all about the paint,' the Parson's graduate tells them.

The project has become so popular with his friends and customers that Mr Esguerra has turned it into a business. 

He now sells 'Love and Paint' experiences, where the couple will create the art in a luxury hotel, packages - including ample body paint, of course, start at $2,500.
