Artist Turns Stretch Marks Into Beautiful Masterpieces

While many women embrace their bodies - flaws and all - there are some who aren't very happy with their stretch marks and go to lengths to hide them. However one artist feels differently about the scars and in her works she highlights them with beautiful colors.

Cinta Tort Cartró wrote on Instagram, "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. A few years ago I started to work on self love and to accept and see everything in my body." 

She went on to say, "To accept all this is to accept your roots, your history, everything in it and, after all, accept yourself. Stretch marks are part of our essence, our moments, our lives, our stories and us. They are so beautiful that I do not know how sometimes they get us to hate them. Observing them is therapeutic. You do not let them mess with everything you have and everything you are. To love oneself is a revolutionary act."
