Cristina Vergano (born 1960) is an Italian-born fine artist and designer living in New York City. Her classical, academic painting style offsets the highly imaginative content of her work. A playful, surreal vein runs through the artist's work, along with a subtle feminist concern and a wink to Pop art. Vergano's paintings have varied subject matter and can be populated with human-animal hybrid creatures, Muslim women in lingerie, flying saucers, word games, and amused references to images by historical artists.
