Mr. Sis Paints #SoloUnBeso in Barcelona

They don’t call it World Pride for nothing, and many artists are creating new public artworks this month to commemorate the 5oth anniversary of the modern rights movement for LBGTQ+ people in many cities.

Artist Mr. Sis is in Barcelona painting this pair of full figured females going in for the kiss on this billboard for Contorno Urbano. The community powered initiative invites all manner of artists to participate and this illustrator who also is formally trained in dance and theater is gratified to have the opportunity to create a public painting. He calls this “Sol Un Beso” or “Just a Kiss”.

As we recognize that not everyone around the world has the freedom to love who they want, in fact face violence and threats from state and civil entities, Mr. Sis says he would really love it if people use his new hashtag #SoloUnBeso.

Post a kiss and tag it! Your image may go a long way.
