There are a thousand ways to give advice, comfort someone or share a thought.
One of them is that of Alessandra Olanow, who with her illustrations speaks about different themes that concern each of us. Born in Canada, she now lives and works in Brooklyn with her daughter Coco, the protagonist of many of her works, especially those that concern the everyday life of the mother-daughter relationship. Her illustrations are simple in their features but much deeper in their meaning.

Her works contain messages that may seem obvious, but they are the ones we devote the least time to. They are invitations to listen to us and to listen to others, to be happy starting from ourselves, to fight for what we believe in but also to allow ourselves a break when everything becomes too much.

We have selected some of her illustrations but you can find them all on her Instagram profile and on her website.
