The 2019 World Bodypainting Festival celebrated its 22nd year last weekend in Klagenfurt at the lake Wörthersee and crowned a new generation of World Champion artists. They battled out their skills for this prestigious award after travelling from over 50 countries to Austria. Models and artists spent up to six hours in intense focus using modern skills to create the tradition of ancient art. This art form has become a trend around the world so the skill levels have grown beyond the imaginations of any of the original founders. The World Bodypainting Festival has attract thousands of visitors also with a huge music program, fashion shows and the colorful world of Bodypaint City.
