# Quirky Meditation Illustrations The Art of Marina Munn is Whimsical and Reflective By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-03-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marina-munn References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2013/02/27/marina-munn/) & [marinamuun](http://www.marinamuun.com/) These quirky illustrations by artist Marina Munn are otherwordly. The illustrations feature mysterious human figures lost in thought, as if engaged in a [meditation session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miifm). The distinctive designs feature muted, earthy tones and [geometric patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series) that would look great in a magazine editorial or as a print on a t-shirt. Marina is a Bulgarian born artist who now resides in Great Britain. The artist says she gains inspiration from: "the natural, unnatural and supernatural." Her [whimsical paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1) often convey deeper meanings and subjects then the viewer would initially detect. The talented illustrator works mainly in acrylic paint and digital illustration. I for one would love to decorate my apartment with these cute and quirky artworks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Quirky Illustrations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique and whimsical designs for various industries such as fashion, home decor, and publishing. - **Meditation Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing interactive meditation apps or virtual reality experiences using Marina Munn's distinctive style. - **Whimsical Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing and marketing home decor products inspired by Marina Munn's earthy tones and geometric patterns. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with Marina Munn to create a line of unique clothing and accessories featuring her quirky illustrations. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partnering with Marina Munn to launch a collection of home decor items that incorporate her distinctive designs. - **Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Publishing a coffee table book featuring Marina Munn's whimsical illustrations, appealing to art lovers and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemplation-Honoring Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marina-baisel.md) - [Spiritual Meditation Chair Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-chairs-for-meditation.md) - [Vibrantly Artful Graphic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-finkenauer.md) - [Juxtaposing Artful Collaborative Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-galaxy.md) - [Whimsical Spirit Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md)
