When it comes to art, many believe that the bigger the scale, the better. Though monumental pieces are sure to grab viewers' attention and dazzle them with their larger-than-life dimensions, there is something equally captivating about tiny works of art, as evident in this selection of miniature paintings.
Featuring work by some of our favorite artists like Lorraine Loots, Hasan Kale, and Tal Peleg, this collection of compact art proves the power of subtlety. Each petite piece exhibits an amazing attention to detail, a unique approach to realistic representation, and an undeniably steady hand. Additionally, the works feature a range of canvases, from conventional paper to coins, foods, and even facial features, emphasizing each artist's one-of-a-kind approach to the underrated art of miniatures.
