# Big-Headed Portraits Dilka Bear Paints Serene Portraits of Girls With Bulbous Craniums By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-03-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dilka-bear References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/painting-2/1081719) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/dilka_bear) Dilka Bear has painted some really intriguing [portraits of young girls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) with heads much too large for their own bodies. The paintings are quite whimsical, as the characters look like they could be a separate race of [magical creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima). Most of the girls that Dilka Bear has painted have an indifferent and uninvolved demeanor. For the most part, each character is [paired with an animal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom) from a giant moth to two Siamese cats. The outfits that Dilka Bear has her stoic characters wearing are more reserved and old fashioned. Check out the featured gallery to see just a few of the many big-headed characters Dilka Bear has created. Could you imagine if people's heads were really that big in real life? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Whimsical Portraiture:** The trend of creating surreal and enchanted portraits presents opportunities to explore new styles and techniques in fine art and photography. - **Magical Creatures:** The trend of portraying subjects with fantastical physical attributes creates opportunities in the entertainment industry for new character designs in movies, television shows, video games and literature. - **Reserved Fashion:** The trend of incorporating traditional and modest clothing styles in contemporary art presents opportunities in the fashion industry to revisit vintage styles and create new collections that honor the past and embrace the present. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fine Arts:** The trend of whimsical portraiture offers opportunities for fine artists to experiment with surreal and enchanting visuals, themes, and narratives. - **Entertainment:** The trend of depicting magical creatures in art presents opportunities for the entertainment industry to expand the range of fantastical characters in various media, including movies, TV shows, animation, games, and books. - **Fashion:** The trend of mixing reserved fashion and contemporary art provides opportunities for fashion designers to explore styles and aesthetics of the past and blend them with modern sensibilities to create unique fashion collections, accessories, and apparel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Big-Headed Sculpture Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-pots.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Cherubic Ceramic Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avant-arte.md) - [Comforting Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudheads.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Sensorial Anime Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz.md)
