Get Ready for an Exciting Weekend of Bodypainting, Creativity, Beauty, and Art in Hvar!
Join us on May 31st and June 1st, 2025, and witness the incredible art of bodypainting at several beautiful locations throughout the town of Hvar.

The Hvar Bodypainting event is organized in collaboration with Alex Barendregt, founder of the World Bodypainting Festival, ensuring a top-tier experience of artistic excellence.
This year, Hvar once again becomes the beating heart of art on living canvases, bringing together 17 international artists from France, South Korea, the USA, Norway, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Serbia, Israel, and Mexico.
Bodypainting – the art form where the human body becomes a moving masterpiece – celebrates creativity, innovation, and positive energy that connects people from all around the globe. The festival is made possible thanks to the dedication and vision of Lorena Matas, in cooperation with Alex Barendregt and the support of generous sponsors.
We believe this event, with its vibrant colors, beauty, and unique atmosphere, enriches not just Hvar, but the wider artistic community as well. For two days, the town will be filled with color, creativity, and artistic wonders.
In addition to the competition, the festival offers a rich program for visitors, with free entry (excluding workshops and seminars):
Live bodypainting competitions open to the public
A bodypainting fashion show with award presentations
Fun activities and workshops for children
A seminar for adults and face painting for all ages
Bodypainting Sunset Session – a golden hour photo event
This is a unique chance to experience the art of bodypainting up close and personal, all set against the stunning backdrop of Hvar.
Whether you’re an art lover, a festival enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun and exciting weekend escape, Hvar Bodypainting is an event you won’t want to miss!
