The World Bodypainting Festival. It’s an annual festival held in Seeboden, Austria, near the Millstatter See, on the third week of July every year. 25.000 visitors are expected in the upcoming world championships for bodypainters.

The World Bodypainting Festival is the largest artistic event of this kind and draws thousands of people every year. Artists from 40 nations - including Australia, North Korea, Canada, USA, Columbia, Argentina and South Africa-  will be coming to this impressive event. The festival is the best gallery in the world for artists to exhibit their bodyart work.The bodypainting will take place in the Klauber Park in Seeboden, where the unique surroundings of Lake Millstatt provide the appropriate impressionistic backdrop. The bodypainting work at the event is of a high artistic quality. The female - as well as the male bodies - are painted aesthetically, either to the given theme, or from an artistic


Amidst the breathtaking scenery in Austria, it’s a place where bodies are boldly put on show, and each artist has the opportunity to show his or her own specialties. The festival has an impressive array of highlights and a varied program in store for artists and models, photographers and video film makers, visitors, and indeed anyone interested in the body cult. The World Body Painting festival draws a crowd of 15,000 spectators, 250 models and more than 150 artisans each expressing their individual creativity. Award-winning artists from around the globe gather to compete for the title of World Champion Bodypainter.

Body painting is a form of expression used by people who like to be naked to communicate feelings and ideas about the human body by using the body itself as the canvas. Such ideas may sometimes be of a sexual nature, but that is only a small part of the possible range of thoughts that can be expressed. In fact, the expanded possibilities for self expression that are possible when one doesn’t wear clothes form one of the chief attractions of being naked for some people.



Only the best in their professions teach the classes. And because you never finish learning, the workshops offer possibilities not only for beginners, also for advanced artists to further their knowledge. Group arrangements for schools can be organized on request. There are a number of different contests (including a nighttime competition designed to showcase stunning UV effects) workshops, audience participation, music and performances and a massive fireworks show to enjoy

Creativity with proper identification  

Friday, February 13, 2009




Body paints had been used in different purposes. For costumes, army camouflage, an intimidator (for athletes), fashion shows, and for promotional purposes.



 The photo (above) of an Asian girl body painted in a “qípáo“ or a mandarin gown, (which by the way is one of the best “body paint” art I’ve seen so far) shows an example of a perfect body paint, matching the whole “Chinese” deigned theme with her Asian looks and semi-petite body figure, making it look like as if she was wearing a real “qípáo” as the dragon figure perfectly covers her breasts’ figure making it look sexy, but in an artistic way. Truly a work of art.





Body Painting combines creativity with the proper identification of ones natural body figures to envision, and apply a design that would perfectly compliment the whole art and the body itself.

Body Painting is an Art...!  

Many artists work professionally as body painters across the world. Their work is seen regularly in television commercials, such as the Natrel Plus campaign featuring models camouflaged as trees. Body painters also work frequently in the film arena especially in science fiction with more and more elaborate alien creations being body painted. Stills advertising also used body painting with hundreds of body painting looks on the pages of the world's magazines every year.


Body art today evolves to the works more directed towards personal mythologies.

Body painting, is a form of body art, considered by some as the most ancient form of art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours, or at most (in the case of Mehndi or "henna tattoo") a couple of weeks.
