It’s about time that women pushed back on the narrow minded standards that the media and beauty industry have tried to limit them to – and one artist is helping women to reclaim their bodies in a major way.
Almost all women have cellulite and stretch marks, regardless of their size and shape. Yet despite how common these characteristics are, women have been taught to be ashamed of them and view them as imperfections that need “fixing.” Barcelona-based Cinta Tort Cartró is taking this issue head on by using vibrant rainbow paint and glitter to help women accept their bodies and look at these ‘flaws’ in a different light.
Cinta says that her art is inspired by her own journey toward self-love, and she hopes it translates to women around the world. She said:
“I have not always felt comfortable with my period and stretch marks. Overall, I have not always felt secure with my body. Over the years, and after internal reflection, I saw that if I did not accept anything [about] my body — hair, stretch marks — I could never love or accept me.”
