Melina Wuggonig
Freelance artist, airbrush designer, tattoo artist, and winner of the Sparmax Airbrush Competition 2022
The 24-year-old Austrian has been working as a freelance artist and airbrush designer since 2020. Her love of animals and nature has always inspired her to paint realistically and with a particular focus on naturalism. In 2018, she discovered airbrush painting and has since focused on photorealistic airbrush art on all kinds of surfaces, including wood, canvas, house walls, and paper. Her airbrush designs can also be found on vehicles such as snowcats and motorcycles. Her goal is to create very expressive and lively paintings that captivate the viewer with their many details. The eyes of her animal and human motifs, which she mainly paints, are particularly important to her. Over the years, she has been able to decorate several exhibitions with her paintings and pass on her airbrush techniques in the form of live or online courses.

Light and airy: realistic plumage
The texture of feathers differs significantly from fur structures. Melina explains the differences and her approach. Participants in her workshop can try their hand at creating a piece of colourful plumage.
