Nikolai Aldunin

I have started a new 4-week collaborative called 20x20x20, which means Miniature Art. Now I missed about a week and a half due to illness but I managed to catch up with my team. They have been looking into different artists who have their own version of what they consider to be miniature art. So I was given the task to research into artists that are creating miniature art.

When I began researching into Miniature Art, I couldn’t believe the amount of contemporary artists that create such amazing miniature art. My first artist is Nikolai Aldunin and his widely considered being the coined master of miniatures. I can’t imagine how steady his hand must be to create these miniature masterpieces. By using superglue, syringes and toothpicks, he creates works of art so tiny that you would need a microscope to see them. When I see these pieces, I think WOW. I love how wild and obsessive he is by how much time and effect it takes to create something like this. I find myself speechless.
