Coming SoonAbout
DEN|ART NY is the first retail body painting studio in NY. We are the first company that make the body painting experience available for the general public, where anyone can just come in and experience body painting then photographed. Before we came into the picture, this kind of experience was only available for professional models as part of elaborate productions.
DEN|ART NY started when Danny Setiawan experimented with body painting as a medium to increase the relevancy of his art so he can make more impact through it.
In 2009, Ekaterina Dorozhkina joined DEN|ART NY and turned it from a merely artistic endeavor into a business
DEN|ART NY exist to empower through art. We believe in the power of art to change lives for both the creators and the audience.
In addition to our passion in creating beautiful and engaging art to empower the public, DEN|ART NY aspires to inspire other artists to experiment with new ways to monetize their talents so they can create more art.
