The effect of losing the strong lines that define where a face goes and stops is hauntingly interesting. Even though the eyes, nose and mouth are still three-dimensional, the rest of the face is given freedom to expand to cover the space of the canvas. The face becomes greater than its supposed structure, and adds to an [unworldly aspect of the art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1). Each portrait is unique and the splash of color that appears in the photos help with the contrast. The captivating faces of Oscar Delmar are too compelling to pass up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Faceless Portraits:** Explore the trend of creating two-dimensional portrait paintings that remove strong facial features, offering a hauntingly interesting and unworldly aspect to the art. - **Expanding Canvas:** Discover the trend of allowing the face to expand beyond its supposed structure, giving it a greater presence on the canvas and adding to the uniqueness of the artwork. - **Splash of Color:** Embrace the trend of using vibrant colors to create contrast and enhance the captivating nature of the faceless portrait. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can take advantage of the trend in faceless portraits to create unique and visually striking artworks that challenge traditional notions of facial features. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can explore new techniques inspired by the expanding canvas trend to create visually compelling and innovative designs that push the boundaries of traditional graphic design. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with the splash of color trend to add vibrancy and visual interest to their portraits, creating captivating and unique photographs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [AI Avatar Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceless-avatar.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Surreal Artist-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection.md) - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [Faceless 3D Avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymouz.md) - [Whimsical AI Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clayify.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md)
