shoutout to the bisexuals who have only dated their own gender, to the ones who have only dated genders besides their own, the closeted ones, the ones who didn't know until decades into adulthood, to the nonbinary ones, the t4t ones, to the ones who thought they were gay, to the ones who thought they were straight, to the ones who have only dated one person or dated no one at all, to the ones who were told "to just choose", or called a different sexuality based on the appearance of your relationship, and to all the ones told they were "limited" or "transphobic" based on identifying as bisexual. I see you I love you and you deserve happiness
Today for bi visibility day 💗💜💙, celebrated in France and in many other countries, I wanted to share with you a special piece I worked on for the last few days.
Sarah Bernhardt (1844 - 1923) in her Hamlet costume and Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954) in masculine clothes side by side, two bisexual women who marked art history in different eras. It's a hommage to art nouveau as well and to Mucha who portrayed Sarah Bernhardt in many illustrations. Most of the flowers represented as patterns are flowers Frida had worn in her hair 💖💕
Here are the refs that inspired me for that piece : link, link
I cherish this illustration very deeply because this is how I strongly connect with my bi/pansexuality visually speaking : it's intricate, fluid, and colorful.
Going to see exhibitions about Sarah Bernhardt and Frida Kahlo this year had marked me and helped me a lot with the proccess of defining myself. That's why I wanted to draw them together 💖
Biromantics are so precious. I love my bi + ace siblings. Reblog to give a biromantic a bowl of hot clam chowder, like to give them little saltine crackers to crush up and sprinkle over their soup
Wishing my favourite canon bisexuals and biromantics a happy bi visibility day/week
(They didn't canonise bi Nora in the movie and I couldn't find the scene where Sam mentions being bi, but I couldn't not include them, so just look at 'em.)
