Famous faces including Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner have been digitally altered by Spanish artist Alexsandro Palombo for his "No Woman is Immune from Domestic Violence" project. He posted these images of famous female celebs with black eyes, bruises, and cuts on their faces on his Facebook page, reported Shenzhen Daily.

In addition to Kim and Kendall, other images used by Palombo include pictures of Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Angelina Jolie, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Palombo said the aim of the project was to persuade victims of abuse to break the silence of their situation, as well as raising awareness that all women could be victims of abuse.

"Domestic violence is a social cancer that knows no boundaries nor social status, it can affect anyone, whether you’re an ordinary person or a celebrity," he said.

In fact, it is not the first time for Alexsandro Palombo to use his pop art to raise awareness about domestic violence. Earlier in 2014, he redrew Marge Simpson and Disney princesses as battered and bruised victims of domestic violence.

However, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s lawyers have issued a warning to the artist for using their images without consent.

Despite the controversy and how disturbing the photos are, their shock value will hopefully motivate more people to take action against domestic violence.
