Influences and style
Dilka Bear has been influenced by artists such as Bruegel and Bosch, the Italian Renaissance, and contemporary artists including Marion Peck and Ray Caesar, as well as by Grimms' Fairy Tales. She mainly paints with acrylics on table and “creates beautiful […] illustrations of young girls and their expressions that mirror the worlds around them”. Her “dreamy” works – to use her own words – are often categorized as belonging to the Pop surrealism visual art movement.
