# Spine-Chilling Supernatural Paintings Jeremy Enecio’s New Occult Art is Ominously Unearthly By | Published 2013-05-23 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeremy-enecio-art References: [hifructose](http://hifructose.com/2013/05/10/new-occult-paintings-from-jeremy-enecio/) & [jenecioart.tumblr](http://jenecioart.tumblr.com/) The new Jeremy Enecio art is absolutely breathtaking in its ability to depict people as one with nature. However, with Enecio's work there is a mystical twist. With creatures such as giant wolves and groping spirits Enecio has created a series that evokes both [horror and awe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird). One of the works titled ‘Familiar’, depicts a woman shadowed in blue light, her head placed peacefully in the mouth of a gigantic wolf. In traditional occult history, familiars were said to be animal counterparts of witches—exactly what Enecio is going for in this [supernatural work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernatural). Each of the human subjects in Enecio’s paintings is depicted as statuesque while bathed in an other-worldly light. The subjects’ lack of emotion allows the viewer to fill the paintings' stories for themselves, making these not only beautiful pieces but also imagination stimulants. Work like Jeremy Enecio's demonstrates that a realistic style can be used in conjunction with [surreal subjects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). Artists do not necessarily have to remain confined to what they are able to see but can stretch their imagination to bring the wildest fantasies to life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Occult Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in art to explore the mystical and supernatural through realistic depictions. - **Realistic Surrealism:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in art to combine realistic style with surreal subjects, thereby unleashing the wildest fantasies. - **Emotionless Storytelling:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in art to use lack of emotion in human subjects to allow viewers to fill in the paintings' stories for themselves. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art industry for artists to create mystically realistic art featuring supernatural or occult subjects. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the entertainment industry to include more occult or supernatural themes, and push for new ways of storytelling. - **Publishing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the publishing industry as there is growing interest in fictional and nonfictional works about the occult or supernatural. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Whimsical Spirit Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md)
