The artist uses this plush material to add a unique texture to each image. All of the images are created with [vibrant colors and multiple layers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-evelina-severin-and-layered) of felt to enhance the aesthetic. The felt artworks are then hung in box-like frames that make the image appear to be descending backwards into the wall. Naima Almeida hand-cuts all of the pieces of felt to ensure each one is accurate and meets the artist's personal standards. This current collection is titled 'Tropicaliente,' which is part of a larger project titled 'Lhama.' Tropicaliente allows the artist to develop art compositions and work with a physical material opposed to online graphic design projects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Layered Fabric Art:** Tech and fashion industries can explore using soft materials to create intricate designs for garments and accessories. - **Felt Texture Trend:** Home decor and packaging industries can incorporate felt material to add a unique tactile element to their products. - **Hand-cut Craftsmanship:** Craft and DIY industries can promote the importance of traditional craftsmanship in creating unique and personalized art pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Textile Industry:** By experimenting with different fabrics and textures, the textile industry can produce new and innovative products for the fashion and home decor markets. - **Art and Design Industry:** Artists and designers can incorporate various materials and techniques to create visually stunning and unique pieces that stand out in an ever-growing market. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can offer unique and personalized products by incorporating handcrafted elements and materials into their product lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Felt-Made Novelty Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourdon-street-chippy.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Reversible Colorful Felt Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softblock-rug.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md)
