Cool and Amazing Body Art Paintings
These cool and amazing body art paintings are displays on the World Body Painting Festival which is held in Seeboden city Austria. Color variation and different theme is used in this Body art Paintings Festival. Love body art.
Fantastic and special effects on body painting
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. 
The World Bodypainting Festival at Seeboden is the first of its kind in the world and has become the “Mecca of Bodypainting”. The Lake Millstatter See region’s scenery is the stage, where bodies are boldly put on show, and each artist has the opportunity to show his/her own specialities – bodies painted with many different materials and techniques, and sometimes combined with the most fantastic costumes, masks and
show effects. At the Body Painting Festival, the interesting art of body paiting is showcased with abandon. 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.

World Bodypainting Festival Seeboden, Carinthia, Austria
The World Bodypainting Festival is an annual festival held in Seeboden, Carinthia, Austria during the third week of July every year. It is the biggest annual event of the body painting culture and community. Drawing over a hundred artists and models, and thousands of visitors, from all over the world every year, the festival redefines the word "art". Each artist has the opportunity to show his/her own specialities - bodies painted with many different materials and techniques, and sometimes combined with the most fantastic costumes, masks and effects.
The festival lasts a week, of which the first four days consist of special workshops and lessons, and the last three days consist of the actual festival event, which is open to the public without prior reservation. The festival event is open for both adults and children, and many families come there together. The artists compete in three categories: brush and sponge, airbrush, and special effects. At night time there is also a special UV effects contest.
As well as the body painting, the festival holds many live music events from various minor bands all over the world, and has several snack bars and cafes. It also includes a “Body Circus”, a fantasy ball within the historical walls of the castle. The medieval castle “Burg Sommeregg” will transform into a mystical fairy tale location with guests arriving in costume ranging from bodypainting, body decoration and masks, to extreme make-up and fantasy fashion.
