Chilean Artist's Disney Fan Art Is As Whimsical As It Is Unique
Orthodontist by day, incredible artist by night.
Chilean artist Valeria Bogado has a day job that keeps her busy, but her Disney fan art is what really makes people stop scrolling. Her illustrations mix familiar characters with a style that feels playful, polished, and completely her own.
Bogado works as an orthodontist in Chile and also takes on freelance commissions, yet she still makes time to draw for fun. That balance shows up in her artwork, especially in the Disney pieces that reimagine beloved characters with bold colors and unexpected details.
From Tangled to The Little Mermaid, her versions stand out fast, and the gallery only gets more interesting from there.
Valeria drew her and her good friends as Disney princesses!

Disney's Tangled is definitely a fan favorite. Disney's take on The Brothers Grimm's Rapunzel came out in 2010, starring Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider.
At one time, there was controversy surrounding the name choice on Disney's part, but Disney insisted that the neutral name was because Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are both the stars of the movie, and that Tangled is not just a movie about Rapunzel.
Tangled took six years and an estimated $260 million to create, and it is believed to be the most expensive animated movie ever. After its release in November of 2010, the film earned $591 million in worldwide box office revenue, $200 million of which was earned in the United States and Canada alone.
Tangled was also well received by both critics and audiences, something that doesn't always happen with movies.

Valeria Bogado is a skilled and talented artist, but she's also an orthodontist who recently opened her own dentistry office. She has said that even when she is very busy with work and a hectic life, she misses drawing, so she tries to keep at it and uploads content to social media as often as possible.
Her style is distinct and easy to fall in love with; it's no surprise that she is still accumulating fans after years of dabbling in art and creating over 1,000 pieces of artwork! The only complaint we could muster up is wishing she had more Disney fan art.
This is similar to a 27F choosing graphic design over medicine after parents’ career demands.
Even though she's created some of the coolest Disney fan art we've ever seen, we can't help but appreciate some of the other artwork she's shared with the world.

Art in Chile works as a reflection that safeguards the cultural heritage of the country. The conquest of Chile by the Spanish and the immigration of Europeans brought new artistic forms to Chile, all of which followed classic European styles.

It's anything but uncommon for us to gush over a diverse gallery of Disney fan art, and it's definitely something we'll always pay attention to. There is something genuinely comforting about Disney fan art, even if the artists and illustrators creating the art take liberties in their interpretations of classic characters.
In a sense, Disney fan art helps us relive everything we love about our favorite Disney movies and characters, don't you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
