Change in consumer interests that happened for the last 20 years in fine art market.

Before, people were ordering the portraits of their kids; now, they order the portraits of their dogs or cats.

Here is what me and ai think about this trend.

The trend of childless households and the growing popularity of pet ownership likely intersect in shaping consumer interests in fine art. As more people opt for pet companionship over having children, their emotional bonds with their furry friends drive demand for personalized pet portraits. These artworks capture the unique personalities and cherished memories associated with beloved dogs and cats. 🐾🎨

Moreover, this shift reflects broader cultural changes, emphasizing the significance of pets in our lives. Whether it’s a whimsical cat portrait or a dignified dog painting, these artworks resonate with pet owners on a deep level. 🐶❤️ Traditionally, people commissioned portraits of their children. However, in recent years, there’s been a shift. Pet portraits—especially of dogs and cats—have gained popularity. Pet owners now seek personalized artworks capturing their beloved companions³.

Here are the collage of portraits I did 20 years ago and here are what I ended up doing now. No complaints, Rush In Art is a very flexible art studio where you can try all media and subjects you can or cannot imagine.
