Since 2016, Atalanta has painted over 2,000 vulva portraits in all shapes, sizes, and colors to ignite important conversations around body positivity and send a clear message: all vulvas are beautiful. bodypositivity bebeautiful atalanta vulvaart
ALL VULVAS ARE unique, but in media—whether it’s porn or even a biology textbook—we’re often shown one image of the “perfect” vulva, which many also believe to be “normal.” As a result, a surprising number of people are undergoing a cosmetic surgical procedure called labiaplasty to reshape or reduce the size of their labia minora for aesthetic purposes.
Queer, nonbinary illustrator Hilde Atalanta was shocked when they first learned about this issue while studying clinical psychology in 2015. They then began to look up diverse images of vulvas online, but they couldn’t find realistic pictures—only those related to questions about how to “fix” vulvas. “I soon realized there wasn’t much imagery online that shows the diversity of vulvas,” the Amsterdam-based artist says.
Ultimately, Atalanta hopes people feel represented and celebrated in their art. “Over the past five years, I've received several emails from people who canceled their [labiaplasty] surgeries who said, ‘Oh my God, I’m normal. I didn’t realize that,’” says Atalanta. “Their stories are very powerful and sometimes very painful to read—stories about pleasure but also about #MeToo.
