International Playmate, Marisa Papen is a true artist. Coming to Playboy Plus from Belgium, this beautiful and wise model calls herself a “professional taboo breaker.” Always immersing herself fully into her work as a model, Marisa is most known for pushing the envelope and challenging the idea of nudity. “My name is Marisa Papen. [A] free-spirited, wild-hearted expressionist,” she says by way of introduction. “I learn so much from being nude. It has the power to bring you back to the core of your existence,” she adds thoughtfully. With her craft as a traveling and artistic nude model, Marisa’s main goal is to show others that you can be “authentic and pure” with her work where she connects with nature. Her personal photos and portfolio — much like her spread for Playboy Portugal as Miss October 2018 — do just this. Typically you can find Marisa swimming with whales, at the top of a mountain, or snapping a picture while being nude in the most unlikely of places. “If you allow yourself to be comfortable with the body you’re in, it’s about shedding everything,” she begins. “Exposing your skin to all the elements, feeling the wind, the water, the earth, being like an animal!” Spoken like a true artist, Marisa Papen will surprise you and keep you wanting more. When she’s not working, you can usually find Marisa traveling, exploring, spending time with friends or writing on her blog. See more of her in her spread, right here on Playboy Plus!
