Tiny Art

In the world there are no more than 20 artists who create Microminiature art. These tiny masterpieces are usually placed in the eye of a needle, on a poppy seed, or on a cut of a human hair. They can not be seen with the naked eye – only under a microscope. In our Tiny Art Collection gallery you can see this unique form of world art.
