An influencer has created paintings using her own vagina as a tool by reportedly inserting a brush.
Bella Mantovani is a visual artist and content creator, with over 57,900 followers on Instagram.
The 33-year-old is very comfortable in the buff, having previously hit headlines for working out naked in the gym and doing nude yoga in the forest.
She is now taking her love of nudity to a spiritual level by creating pink paintings with the help of her genitals.
“I paint my works with my vagina,” Bella told Need To Know.

“My body is not vulgar – it is a tool, a language, a manifesto.
“These pieces are part of a collection that challenges traditional views of the female body and opens the door for discussions about identity and power.
“It’s about making my body a territory of expression and no longer a place of censorship or shame.

“I aim to challenge social norms and broaden the understanding of female sexuality.
“My goal is not to shock but to provoke thought.

“Each stroke is a reminder of delicate strength, guilt-free sensuality, power without explanation.”
According to Bella, each canvas carries a personal symbolism to invite the viewer to reflect on the female form.

One piece – titled Herma – apparently redefines the concept of the feminine and masculine in a singular force.
Meanwhile, another creation, titled Matrice, represents the ‘cosmic womb’ – a universal uterus that generates and sustains the world.

She said: “[This] portal [the vagina] is the beginning of everything, the door to life, the sacred that society hides but through which the entire world has come.
“It’s not just flesh, it’s divinity.

“I see myself as part of a larger movement of artists who use their bodies as a language, where art becomes a tool for social transformation.”
The exhibition is available from now until June at a studio in São Paulo, Brazil.
