# Package-Spotlighting Paintings These Spiros Halaris Aesop Illustrations are Detail-Oriented By Gil Cohen | Published 2012-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiros-halaris-aesop-illustrations References: [visuellemagazine.blogspot](http://visuellemagazine.blogspot.ca/2012/11/spiros-halaris-aesop-inspired.html) & [spiroshalaris](http://www.spiroshalaris.com/AESOP) Inspired by the aesthetics of Aesop product packaging, the Spiros Halaris Aesop illustrations focus on the brand's paint tubes. Rather than creating a detailed painting of intricately designed and brightly colored flowers, artist Spiros Halaris left the flowers as sketched outlines in the background of his works. Instead, he concentrates his creative talent on the meticulous design of the paint tubes produced by the [Aesop brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aesop-outlet). As the central items in each image, they are brightly hued in shades of red, green, blue and yellow with splotches of color seeping into their surroundings, making everything around them more beautiful by their mere presence. The Spiros Halaris Aesop illustrations make us see the [paint packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1664-x-andre-saraiva) as an impressive focal point of a painting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Brand Packaging-focused Art:** Creating art that centers around the design of a brand's packaging instead of a traditional subject matter. - **Minimalist Illustrations:** Producing art with a simplistic, muted approach to color and subject matter. - **Mundane Object as Art:** Transforming everyday objects into works of art that are meant to be appreciated. ### Where This Applies - **Fine Arts:** Opportunities to incorporate mundane object art into traditional art exhibitions or museum displays. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Collaborating with artists to create visually stunning campaigns that showcase the brand's packaging. - **Product Packaging:** Exploring ways to make packaging more visually appealing and desirable to consumers through artistic collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uplifting Artistic Alcohol Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-haring-artist-edition-bottle.md) - [Re-Designed Family-Owned Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itxart-olive-oil.md) - [Wisdom-Focused Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wise-personal-grooming.md) - [Hand-Painted EVOO Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-evoo-bottle.md) - [Playful Artist-Designed Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-isle-adventure.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Color-In Fish Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summertime-art-box.md) - [Artistic Perfume Bottle Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/do-perfume.md) - [Delicately Patterned Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kustaa-saksi1.md)
