Brushstrokes in the Sand

Take a journey into the desert without leaving the room, thanks to Gesine Marwedel’s spectacular body painting. Born in Eckernförde, she turns a model into a sprawling desert scene, complete with blue skies, rolling sand dunes, and a serene oasis—all painted on human skin.

If you think that’s impressive, dive into the world of the World Bodypainting Festival in Austria, where artists from around the globe gather annually. They don’t just show off; they compete and collaborate, turning the human form into extraordinary living art. It’s a spectacle of creativity and skill that paints a vivid picture of the art world’s most colorful corner!
