Many of us grew up looking at images of models, trying to measure up to their distorted and photoshopped bodies, and always came up short to the unrealistic beauty standards in our society.

This episode of our podcast Art & Cocktails features guest Elisa Valenti, who paints women who are luxurious, voluptuous, and are celebrated for their unique shapes and sizes.

She didn't always paint the figure, and only recently pursued this subject matter. Her art carer took off within a year when she finally started painted her truth and falling in love with who she is.

I can't wait for you to meet Elisa and experience her gorgeous work and inspiring story.

Listen here or on iTunes, Spotify, Libsyn, and more.

P.S. If you are excited about her work and want to collect a piece, we have affordable originals available at PxP Contemporary https://www.pxpcontemporary.com/collections/elisa-valenti

Cheers!
