# Patient Doe-Eyed Damsel Paintings The Nicoletta Pagano Series 'L'Attesa' Depicts Waiting Women By Jason Soy | Published 2011-11-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicoletta-pagano References: [lacarpa.tumblr](http://lacarpa.tumblr.com/post/12785560357/lattesa-nicoletta-pagano#n) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/nicolettapagano) These Nicoletta Pagano paintings perfectly exemplify why it's never a good idea to make people wait. The collection of wide, but droopy-eyed women illustrations is part of a series called 'L'attesa', in which Nicoletta Pagano depicts females waiting. The melancholy expressions on the women's faces perfectly embody the dreary, but hopeful feeling one gets when trying to rendezvous with a person at an unclear or unspecified time and location. Looking through the Italian illustrator's Behance Network portfolio, I'm most impressed by the diverse aesthetic styles Nicoletta Pagano is able to conjure for specific projects. Whether it's watercolor painting, collage making, pattern making or digital rendering, Pagano's got talent by the bucket loads and she isn't afraid to use it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Waiting Woman Art:** The popularity of Nicoletta Pagano's 'L'attesa' series shows a desire for art that captures the emotion of waiting. - **Diverse Illustration Styles:** Nicoletta Pagano's ability to create diverse illustrations using various mediums presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the art industry. - **Emotive Illustration:** The melancholy expressions in Nicoletta Pagano's illustrations indicate a growing trend towards art that evokes strong emotions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** The popularity of Nicoletta Pagano's 'L'attesa' series highlights a demand for art that documents and conveys emotion in a unique and authentic way. - **Design:** Nicoletta Pagano's diverse illustration style presents opportunities for innovation and disruption in the design industry, particularly in the field of user experience and user interface design. - **Fashion:** Emotive illustrations such as Nicoletta Pagano's L'attesa series can be incorporated into fashion through fabrics and prints to create unique and impactful designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Medicine-Inspired Artful Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-the-pain.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Oil Painting-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antonio-santn.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md)
