These DilkatheBear paintings grabbed my attention the moment I saw them. The [whimsical and slightly surreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) females in each piece show an immaculate attention to detail on the part of th eartist. Although each painting is completely different, the series as a whole is expressive, memorable and very well done.
