In loving memory of Julie Oliver
The WBF community mourns the loss of a cherished friend. The sudden onset of Julie's illness has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and colleagues.
Natascha Zenig brings fairy tale, film and obscure fantasy figures to life with the help of special effect make-up + body painting and has them staged by renowned photographers. The result is an artistic work of art without equal. Let yourself be whisked away into a world that you otherwise only know from the cinema screen.
The vernissage and opening will take place on 04.11. at 19:00 in Villach, Tart Galerie, Widmanngasse 16 and the exhibition will run until 29.11.2023.
We are delighted to share the extraordinary success of the "WBF – Generation Next" festival, a vibrant celebration of artistic innovation and creativity in the world of bodypainting. This year, we marked the 26th edition of the festival, and it was held in an indoor venue, bringing immense joy to all participants, including photographers, models, and artists. The indoor setting provided a reliable and controlled environment, ensuring that everyone could fully immerse themselves in the competition, photo sessions, and stage presentations, free from the uncertainties of weather and lighting conditions.
The World Bodypainting Festival 2023 promises an impressive program. For those unable to travel, we are pleased to offer two categories in an online competition. Simultaneously, there will be three intensive days of education programs—the WB Academy Workshops. The first major live highlight will be the World Championship in Camouflage Bodypainting, followed by two full days of diverse competitions. The theme for these contests is "Welcome in Wonderland," and we have prepared an immersive experience for guests, photographers, and videographers alike. The absolute highlights of the festival will be the evening presentations of the models, followed by the prestigious world award winners ceremony and the breathtaking "Body Circus" party, which promises a surreal experience like no other.
