8 Astoundingly Tiny Art Pieces

This time we’re talking about the 8 most astoundingly tiny art pieces in the world and the artists who created them.

Hasan Kale

Istanbul-based artist Hasan Kale has already done the thing where he painted on bottle caps, tiny almond, matchsticks, and butterfly wings. At the moment, his tiniest canvas is literally the super-thin wings of a regular house fly!

Salavat Fidai

He started his career as a lawyer, but turned to art when he was laid off during the financial crisis of 2013 in Russia. Now, he’s an international art sensation for the spectacular things that he carves into the tips of pencils.

A single art piece takes Salavat anywhere between 12 hours to 72 hours. Yet, even though he’s famous for the sculptures he makes with pencil lead, his favorite “medium” is the seed of a pumpkin.

Joe Fig

After making large paintings for years Joe Fig hit a creative blog. He could no longer get himself to work on regular paintings. So, he decided that if he can’t do “big” anymore, he’s going to shift to tiny paintings. What’s most significant about the work of Joe Fig is that he makes tiny dioramas as his tiny art. He’s created a whole tiny miniature of an artist in his studio, complete with unfinished paintings, tools lying around everywhere, and a thoughtful artist observing the work that he’s done.
