The INSIDER Summary:

• Cinta Tort Cartró is a 21-year-old artist from Barcelona, Spain.
• Cartró, who goes by Zinteta on social media, is gaining popularity for sharing positive messages about women's bodies.
• She uses rainbow colors to illustrate stretch marks as well as menstruation.

In recent years, discussions about women's bodies have begun to take a radical yet progressive turn. 

One woman is going viral online for using art and photography to help bolster this change.

Cinta Tort Cartró, who we first read about on Yahoo! Beauty, uses vibrant rainbow colors to celebrate stretch marks and normalize topics that are deemed taboo, such as menstruation. 

Formally known as Zinteta by her fans, Cartró told Yahoo! Beauty that her work "all started as a form of expression." Yet, "it quickly turned into social commentary of the male-dominated culture we live in," she said. 

The 21-year-old from Barcelona, Spain, chose to speak out after noticing that issues affecting women weren't being addressed.

"There are many things happening in my town that I couldn’t be silent on such as the male microagression toward the female body," she said. "I know there are countries that have it worse than here in Spain, but I couldn't stay silent."

Cartró is also a champion for diversity and holds a special interest in ending racism. 

"I grew up feeling sometimes out of place. I’m tall and big, so it’s important for me to state in my art that everyone is beautiful and those ‘flaws’ are not that," Cartró said. "They make us unique and special.”

Speaking about colorism, she said: "I don’t like the way foreigners are treated sometimes here. I’m all about embracing those that need help so everyone can live a great life."

It's inspiring to see someone using their talent to spread awareness in such a unique way.
