Jorge Colombo has created [luxuriously creative landscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism) with just an iPhone app. He used the simple iPhone app called 'Brushes' that allowed him to create realistic on-location art with his fingers and the phone. The result is so breathtaking that the pieces made the cover of 'The New Yorker;' the artist has even published a book titled 'New York: Finger Paintings,' showcasing a hundred of his illustrations created with the iPhone app. Just one look at the illustrations will have you convinced that these are canvassed pieces of art. The Portuguese artist has, indeed, sparked a revolution with the iPhone Finger Paintings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digitized Art Creation:** Creating art through digital mediums using mobile apps is becoming more popular and accessible, posing potential opportunities for innovative art and design tools. - **Mobile Art Exhibitions:** The rise of art created through mobile devices creates potential for exhibitions and galleries featuring this type of art, disrupting traditional art forms. - **Virtual Reality Art:** The intersection of digital technology and art may lead to the creation of new virtual reality art experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** The technology industry has potential opportunities for developing and improving mobile art and design tools. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore innovative ways to use and showcase art created through mobile devices. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore the potential of virtual reality art experiences as a new form of immersive entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR-Enabled Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupixel.md) - [AI-Fueled Digital Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawww.md) - [Creativity-Supporting Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blank-app.md) - [Digital AI-Generated Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picsart-1.md) - [Doodling Mental Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scribble-journey-app.md) - [Photo Art Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-painter.md) - [Photographer-Inspired Photo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leica-lux-app.md) - [Artistic UV-Reactive Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polychromatic-mobile-phone.md) - [AI-Powered Art Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wombo-dream.md)
