Since birth, Elena Martini has been paralyzed in her legs due to a spinal cord injury. She\u2019s had to use a wheelchair her whole life, but that hasn\u2019t stopped her from transforming herself into whatever or whoever she wants to be \u2014 thanks to her incredible face-paintingskills.<\/p>\n

Martini began her face-painting journey in 2015 after witnessing the World Bodypainting Festival on TV. The event encouraged her to try her hand at painting on family members, and she has been doing it ever since. The 28-year-old\u2019s skills are extraordinary, and she\u2019s completely self-taught \u2014 which demonstrates how innately talented she is.<\/p>\n

\u201cI usually try to exploit the shapes and anatomy of the face to create my looks \u2014 especially when painting animals, which on the human face, end up looking so realistic,\u201d Martini tells Yahoo Lifestyle.<\/p>\n
