The vulva gallery is a collection of illustrations that celebrate the vulva and its diversity.

Vulva Gallery

The gallery is owned by illustrator Hilde Atalanta.

She says “all vulvas are amazing and beautiful just the way they are” and her word should be taken for it, seeing how she is the digital proprietor and primary atrist.

All of the illustrations shown on the website and Instagram are Atalanta's and they are dedicated particularly to vulvas.

She told Huffington post: “The only way to change the way [...] individuals experience their bodies is to educate them, and others, about the natural diversity.”

This she does by drawing different images of the vagina with no holds barred, she also captions the photos with a description of the variety drawn.

She also says: “In the past decade there has been an enormous increase in labiaplasty amongst young women,” Atalanta explained. Labiaplasty, she clarified, is a cosmetic surgery meant to partly or entirely alter the size of the labia minora (the inner folds of the vulva)"

“In my opinion, labiaplasty because of cosmetic reasons isn’t a good development. No vulva-owning individual should have to undergo this just because they want their vulva to look like the ones they see on the internet.”

Hopefully, this would change the way women view their bodies and help them embrace and love themselves for who they are.
