Summary/Abstract: In face painting, in this case the painting of the bride, or children, a relationship is created, a multiple human relationship, hence here is laid a different argumentative point of view and beyond the concept of face painting. In this paper there is presented the will and inspiration for face painting, which is an interesting topic not only for researchers, but also for readers who can learn how this human behavior is presented, so importtant for the art of painting and cultural anthropology in general. Cultural heritage belongs not only to a single individual, nor to just one community, or an ethnicity, but to entire humanity. We find the painting or coloring of the face, as a decoration with a beautifying function, or of other motifs, displayed since antiquity. Thus, this practice, even though nowadays, here and beyond, generally around the world, is almost modern, yet it is not treated as such.
