Created using computer programs rather than traditional paints and brushes, this French artist's work mimics the style and look of typical paintings. With the help of models Myriam, Kek, Julien and Mina, Cali Rezo has put together a [stunning collection of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition). Focusing on the [Victorian time period](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova) in these pieces, Rezo manages to give her work an even more authentic feel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Digital Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore new mediums and techniques using computer programs instead of traditional materials. - **Virtual Painting:** Disruptive innovation in the art world by using virtual reality and augmented reality tools to create immersive and interactive paintings. - **Artificial Intelligence in Art:** Emerging trend of using advanced algorithms and machine learning to generate artistic content and automate certain aspects of the creative process. ### Where This Applies - **Fine Art:** Artists and galleries can embrace digital art as a new form of expression and reach a wider audience through online platforms and digital exhibitions. - **Technology:** Opportunity for tech companies to develop tools and software specifically designed for digital artists to enhance their workflow and create innovative art. - **Virtual Reality:** Virtual reality companies can collaborate with artists to create immersive art experiences that transport viewers into virtual worlds and redefine the concept of traditional paintings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Pixel Art Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelart-lab.md) - [Photo Art Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-painter.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Image Pixel Converters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picture-to-pixel-art.md) - [Retro Image Converters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-to-pixel-art.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md)
