Surreal illustration by Alessandra De Cristofaro

Fantasy and reality collide in the illustrative world of Alessandra De Cristofaro. Her editorial pieces, including an ongoing series for Vanity Fair/Italy, offers a slice of life with a twist. The characters are often exaggerated in scale and have their inner thoughts materialized; a devil and angel perch on the shoulder of one woman, while another character welcomes her knight-and-shining armor out of her head and into real life. The combination is visually alluring yet relatable. How many times have you cried so much it feels like you fill an ocean?

Alessandra often shares her surreal illustration on Instagram.
