A Brazilian Artist Draws Portraits of Curvy Women to Challenge Beauty Standards, and It’s a Reminder We Needed

The beauty of skinny women has been popularized in modern artwork for a long time. However, little by little, this tendency is fading away and Eduardo Santos, a freelance illustrator from Brazil, helps our society adapt to these changes. To promote diversity and awaken self-acceptance in curvy ladies, he has created his own plus-size world in which all women are beautiful in their own unique way.

We at Bright Side praise beauty in all its forms and want to share with you 20 of the most impressive illustrations made by Eduardo.
