Inspired by the ulterior worlds of picture books and vintage design absorbed in childhood, her images turn nostalgia into a meticulously crafted visual language. Coastal life sparkles through her palette and imagery.

Izzy’s work is warm and feel good, but obsessively finished. Every highlight, texture and tiny detail is polished until it feels like you could step inside. Reinterpreting still life and traditional compositions, she is often drawn to glass and, chrome surfaces, using reflection to create immersive mirror worlds.

Her work has shimmered across murals for Pinterest, created illustration systems for Starbucks and reimagined perfume bottles as glistening poolside ornaments for a global Chanel campaign. It is always crystalline, immersive, and quietly transportive.

Telling stories that are both universally relatable and deeply personal, the German illustrator gives audiences space to infuse her work with their own experiences.

Her scenes — think ball gowns and boxed noodles, or dog walks and disco balls — are comforting yet curious, allowing viewers to morph from spectator to subject and back again.

Influenced by her upbringing, Alissa’s visual style is a nod to vintage animation. We’re talking Moomin creator Tove Jansson and Slavic folklore like Baba Yaga. Fine lines, textures that seem almost tangible, and moods that merge the mundane with the mystical, Alissa’s artistry is set in the everyday but steeped in the sublime.
