Artist Imagines How Disney Characters Would Look As Oil Paintings, And You’ll Want To Hang Them In Your Room
No doubt you have seen an abundance of artists sharing their own renditions of Disney characters. And still, we have managed to find another gem, perhaps even the fairest of them all.
American artist Heather Theurer creates Disney-inspired oil paintings that some viewers have likened to a Renaissance art style, however, the artist herself says the style is more akin to the Pre-Raphaelites of the late 19th century.
Theurer says that her aim is not to re-create what has already been done by other artists or Disney itself - but rather to transcend the ordinary and go beyond and down the rabbit hole, in search of new meaning.
When creating her beautiful paintings, Theurer strived to go past mere physical resemblances of the cartoon characters, focusing instead on capturing and conveying their struggles, hope, and pride - attributes that wouldn't be obvious to the naked eye.
All that attention to detail did not go to waste, scroll down below to see for yourself!

Lilo & Stitch
Mulan
Her face is too Zhang Ziyi/ kawaii-girly for me - the disney original was more fearless and tomboyishly-pretty (as the heroïne should be) . Nice colour depth and shadow-work tho **
Elsa, Anna And Olaf
Tiana
Dumbo
Heartbreaking....watching a mother be separated from her baby...I still remember crying at this film as a child...
Alice
Oh nice! I know I've seen that kind of expression somewhere

Alice is suffering from insanity. Her visage in this painting is absolute perfection for the mindset. Disney made her far too docile and sane. We're all mad here.
This is cool! Dig those flamingos and her Macaulay-expression. Great hidden reference to MJ and his fantasy-land!
I like this picture very much, yet I find it a bit scary. Look at her puzzled expression - it doesn't look like colorful and generally friendly Disney version, it's rather Burtonesque, if anything. Still, it's really good picture, with its thousands of details and all this dynamism.
is it just me, or the alice looks a little bit psycho? still a good drawing tho

Ariel
Rapunzel
Cinderella

Bored Panda could literally make a Disney tab with all these stories
I love these, they make the Disney girls look like real people instead of perfectly animated figures. Very nice job.
Brilliant Artists - But why does it have to be Disney characters all the time? Hasn't boredpanda done Disney characters to death.
If I could draw and paint, this is the style I would want to do it in. I love the classical, old paintings of portraits.
Too gorgeous for words! Extremely charming and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents.
I see her at Comic Con every year, she does some amazing work! You should see her other work, my mom buys one of her horse prints every year.
EXTREMELY WELL DONE. AND I DONT RECALL EVER SEEING AN ADAPTATION LIKE THIS. VERY NICE. SUCH TALENT.
Out of the many, many, many edits of Disney princesses, this has got to be one of my favorites!!
Disney Princesses again ????? Boooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnngggg.
Every one of these has been featured in a Disney animated movie.
