Visually simple yet conceptually unbounded, Italian illustrator Virginia Mori continues to create scenes that proliferate from her imaginative world of inner emotions. “I often take inspiration from dreams, nightmares, hallucinations, and long walks in nature,” Mori says. Rippling water, nested doorways, and liquefied lenses lend to an air of surrealism, indicative of the artist’s distinctive style.

Mori has a busy year ahead, as she is currently working on an animated short film, book illustration, and preparing for a group exhibition opening next month at Blu Gallery in Bologna. If you’re into tarot cards, the artist just designed a deck that you can find on Stay-Hop. Keep up with Mori’s upcoming works on her website and Instagram.
