Sightings from Africa
First Equatorial Guinea Bodypainting Festival (EGBF) was a smashing success and a stunning display of beauty and talented artistry. Top artists from 18 countries around the World as well as local artists got together to create spectacular living artworks. Among artists, there were 11 bodypainting World Champions. Local participants and models did a superb job especially considering that for many of them this was the very first time that they got bodypainted. The public was simply blown away by the unique artistic designs that transformed regular people into Mystical Beauties. Meanwhile, kids absolutely loved being face painted and at times there were long lineups for the artists who were doing it. EGBF 2019 events were held over two weekends, January 12-13 and January 19-20, in the Malabo National Park. Main sponsors of the Festival were: President of the Equatorial Guinea, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Art, TNM, National Bank of Equatorial Guinea and Malabo National Park
