Young girls in dark dresses with black hair around their doll-like faces - these are the main characters of Italian illustrator who creates surreal drawings with a touch of horror.
Virginia Mori, 36, lives and works in Pesaro and Milan, Italy. Her favorite media are pencil, ink, and ballpoint pen on paper. The artist gain following because of her unique, dark and surreal style and imagery. "I can’t say how I arrived at this style," Virginia told to stylenochaser. "It has been a long and slow journey filled with a lot of research, but everything came very naturally, in a very instinctive way. I just followed what I like to do."
Artist's illustrations often have a melancholic or the nightmarish feel to them. "I am not trying to explain anything with certainty with my art. I just want to suggest strange feelings and situations in a metaphoric way."
Below you can find some of her works. Which one is your fave?

Extreme sleep paralysis is what this makes me think of. I get it sometimes and it's really a weird feeling.
I wonder if it means anything that all the other legs have long pants and different shoes than hers/the front legs..? If they're not all "her legs" in a sense, it feels uncomfortably vulnerable, feeling like you can't get away, no privacy, aren't allowed to control the direction of your own body. That's what I get from it anyway.
The oranges in the bottom left corner look a bit like something else...
An Ariana Grande concert... Or many Louises from Bob's Burgers...
"And this, kids, is why we don't throw paper airplanes. Any questions?"
If you do not like Ariana Grande... She will find you... And she will kill you.
I can hear Gloria Estefan singing, "The rhythm is gonna get'cha"
That's a sweet one :) Sleep sets your mind free, letting it wander away to magical worlds.
So creative! I love the concept. Her illustrations of water though somewhat annoy me on account of their synthetic appearance, but it's still cool.
I am behind French doors but can't get them to close. The lions will eat me...
