The series of five portraits is made out of various combinations of fruit and [Greek yogurt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stretchy-yogurt), including blueberries, lemons and pears. The celebrity food portraits feature an interesting twist: each member of the judging cast is transformed into a Greek god. The edible series is the work of Prudence Staite of 'Food is Art,' who gained some notoriety in 2010, when she first combined her niche passions and made a series of portraits of X Factor contestants out of pizza. The Internet tends to get very excited over both talented [fan art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-gallery-popup) and spectacular, bizarre works of art made out of food, and these celebrity food portraits are a perfect convergence of the two. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edible Art:** Creating art using food as the medium, presenting new opportunities in the culinary and arts industries. - **Food as Fan Art:** Using food to recreate iconic figures or scenes from popular culture, merging the worlds of food and fandom. - **Creative Food Combinations:** Exploring unconventional food combinations to create visually stunning and innovative culinary experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Culinary:** Innovating in the culinary industry by incorporating food as an artistic medium and exploring new flavor combinations. - **Arts:** Providing new avenues for artists to express their creativity by utilizing food as a unique medium for art. - **Advertising:** Leveraging food art as a disruptive advertising strategy, capturing attention through visually stunning and unique campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Artistic Yogurt Dessert Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mller-and-neil-buchanan.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Celebrity-Crafted Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolanda-gampp.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md) - [Edible Artist-Created Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-day-artist-collection.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md)
