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,[4] as well as by Grimms' Fairy Tales. She mainly paints with acrylics on table[6] and “creates beautiful […] illustrations of young girls and their expressions that mirror the worlds around them”.[7]
