To paint one's self

I wish to put into Spanish the term "to paint one's self" in the context of an artist who paints himself, body, clothes, as an artform
The verb pintarse means to put on make up. Can I say for example "El hombre se pinta" ? - I dont want to convey the sense of making up!

Yes, you can simply say "El hombre se pinta el cuerpo", but here are some other terms you might be able to juggle with:
Pintura corpórea --- body painting
El hombre aplica pintura sobre su cuerpo --- The man applies paint over his body
Escultura corpórea --- body sculpture
Aplicación de pigmentos --- Pigment application
Los indígenas aplican pigmentos sobre su cuerpo. --- The indians apply pigments on their bodies.
