Artists from all over the world decorated their naked bodies in an array of amazing colours and intricate designs for this year’s World Bodypainting Festival.
The artists, who descended on a small Austrian village from 47 countries, helped transform Poertschach am Woerthersee into an explosion of colour and creativity.
The event is described as an ‘art, music and fashion show’ and this year’s theme was Pop Art.
Wearing just a few slicks of colourful paint, the talented artists’ human canvasses caused quite the scene in the tiny village as they competed for the top prizes.
The festival, which is in its 17th year, ended yesterday and included incredible performances from models painted as geishas, superheroes and mermaids.
First place for SFX Make up went to Lorie Hamel from Canada and first place for the qualification round of brush and sponge went to Giusy Campolungo from Italy.
