Through simple linework, vivid colors and delicate textures, Italian illustrator Giulia Rosa explores modern contemporary life, taboos, and romance. In these illustrations, one may find deep themes of diversity, sexuality, and modernity being discussed in a delicate and visually powerful way.

Giulia's illustrations speak volumes about the feelings and thoughts that arise from reflecting complex themes like relationships, feminism, daily life, censorship, and other issues that permeate our current world. It's one of the reasons why the artist enjoys popularity of over 500k followers on Instagram, as it's very relatable to many contemporary readers.

But her illustrations don't just passively celebrate womanhood, or talk about "girl problems." The artist uses her art for good; it stands as a platform for social activism, and the images are charged with powerful arguments for women's rights, equality, and other poignant issues. In short, her images have character.

The artist is brave enough to talk about such sensitive issues like sexual assault, unequal rights, body positivity, sexism, as well as mental health and anxiety, insecurity and laziness. But simply saying that her illustrations are all about doom and gloom is quite wrong. There are bits of brightness, wholesomeness, love, self-exploration and self-acceptance in almost every illustration that she has made.

Hands up all women who have felt the need to be "normal" and symptom free when they have their period so it cannot be used to explain everything you do that a guy doesn't like/appreciate/ wants....

I have started a photo project of taking nude photos of women of all shapes and sizes. My goal is to show the world that nudity is ok, everyone is beautiful and no one should feel ashamed. My beautiful wife is my first model and she is stunning.

If you're up for more similar illustrations, here's a few that we can offer on Bored Panda. Another Italian artist created these accurate illustrations about the difficulties that women have living in a patriarchal society. Another artist creates uplifting illustrations about self-love that are also in a similar vein. And here's a post about recently featured artist Liana Finck, who talks about similar problems, but in her own uniquely funny and observant style.

Every woman should have photos of herself without makeup or styled hair in case she goes missing and ends up in distress.

That white dress and coffee is making me anxious - it’s a spill-and-stain just waiting to happen!
