Dieser Künstler verwandelt Dehnungsstreifen in atemberaubende Kunstwerke

Accepting and eventually loving your body can be a difficult journey. Es hilft nichts, wenn wir nur Bilder von perfekt mit Airbrush bearbeiteten Körpern sehen, ohne Flecken, Narben, Falten und schlaffes Fleisch. But an artist in Barcelona is trying to change all of that because she believes all bodies are beautiful and worth celebrating.

Instead of finding ways to hide stretch marks on the women she photographs, she wants to highlight them in the most lovely way. Sie hat die sogenannten „Makel“ von Frauen in Regenbogenfarben bemalt, um zu zeigen, wie wunderschön sie sind. The photos are posted on Instagram and they’re stunning.

“All bodies have (more or less) stains, hairs, freckles, stretch marks, curves, lines, wounds, wrinkles … and all are equally valid,” she writes in the post.

“It is time for us to begin to love ours because, after all, this is our tool of communication with the world. And if we do not like the tool we use for it, we can hardly feel free.”

Cartró explains on Instagram that she was inspired by her own stretch marks.

“Stretch marks are those marks that many of us have on the skin. I spent years hating them and trying to find a way to eliminate them, until I realized that if I did not accept them I was not accepting myself,” she writes.

She says that she started to work on self-love a few years ago and made an effort to accept everything in her body.

“To accept all this is to accept your roots, your history, everything in it and, after all, accept yourself,” she writes. “Stretch marks are part of our essence, our moments, our lives, our stories and us.”

Her art work and photos are obviously magnificent and even a bit radical. Außerdem sind sie sehr sympathisch. Die Bilder ließen mich an meine ersten Jahre in einem Körper nach der Geburt zurückdenken, den ich hasste. In meinem Fall waren es die Narben, die neu sichtbaren Besenreiser und das zusätzliche Gewicht, das mich jeden Tag belastete. Bis ich mich auf meine eigene Reise der Selbstliebe begab (immer noch dabei) und herausfand, dass es mir hilft, mich selbst und meinen Körper zu lieben, wenn ich aus meinen eigenen „Fehlern“ Kunst mache. I got tattoos – some of them hide the marks, some of them accentuate them, and in all cases I find them beautiful to look at.

Like Cartró I also have a different state of mind now. Ich habe die Entscheidung getroffen, meinen Körper zu lieben.
