But her illustrations don't just passively celebrate womanhood, or talk about "girl problems." The artist uses her art for good; it stands as a platform for social activism, and the images are charged with powerful arguments for women's rights, equality, and other poignant issues. In short, her images have character.
Oh man, commit to it and tell us why! Honestly, mansplaining is one of my favorite forms of comedy. I live for it.

I personally don't agree with abortion but I think for some women it may be a good thing for them and I wouldn't want to make it illegal, I'm just saying I don't agree with it
Esther, it’s the woman’s body. Don’t tell her what she can or cannot do, and if you don’t want children but you end up getting pregnant, why not just have one? And the child has nothing to live for, it won’t remember anything anyway. It’s a matter of what the woman wants to do or not. It shouldn’t be illegal. What’s next, people can’t buy nice houses because other’s don’t have the money for it?
You eat an animal daily, look at you hypocrite, bro LOL

The artist is brave enough to talk about such sensitive issues like sexual assault, unequal rights, body positivity, sexism, as well as mental health and anxiety, insecurity and laziness. But simply saying that her illustrations are all about doom and gloom is quite wrong. There are bits of brightness, wholesomeness, love, self-exploration and self-acceptance in almost every illustration that she has made.
Hands up all women who have felt the need to be "normal" and symptom free when they have their period so it cannot be used to explain everything you do that a guy doesn't like/appreciate/ wants....
If you like her work, we strongly suggest checking out her socials if you want to check out more of her works.

But for now, enjoy the art!
If you're up for more similar illustrations, here's a few that we can offer on Bored Panda. Another Italian artist created these accurate illustrations about the difficulties that women have living in a patriarchal society. Another artist creates uplifting illustrations about self-love that are also in a similar vein. And here's a post about recently featured artist Liana Finck, who talks about similar problems, but in her own uniquely funny and observant style.
Me....chilled/laid back... then anxious because I have to deal with...people...
That white dress and coffee is making me anxious - it’s a spill-and-stain just waiting to happen!

I really liked these. Not visually overwhelming yet the meaning in them can be found.
Thanks for these. I really enjoyed and appreciated specially the ones about anxiety. It is so real.
I love how simple yet meaningful they are. I also love how they look old.
Some of these made me miss my partner because even though I get to see them twice a week, it still leaves an empty pay when we’re apart. Other were just plain relatable. Like, anxiety? I feel you
