Generations of kids have grown up playing with Barbie dolls. But as the works of Brazilian artist Daniel Lima show, there is no age limit when it comes to their appreciation.
Lima earned a massive social media following thanks to impressive Barbie doll makeovers. He improves on the original design of the dolls by providing them a “glow-up” with new clothes, accessories, and makeup.
Lima often shares videos that offer a behind-the-scenes look into his creative process. These clips show how much effort the artist puts in his works and how meticulous he is, paying attention to every single detail in order to get the best possible results.
Oftentimes, Lima doesn’t just stop at improving the looks of the original Barbie. He will go to great lengths, repainting the facial features and even replacing the hair, to create an entirely different doll.
If you played with Barbie dolls as a kid or just appreciate great craftsmanship, then there is no doubt that you will enjoy Lima’s works. Maybe they will even inspire you to try out something similar and give your old Barbie doll a new and refreshed look.
