Mar Cerdà is the latest miniature artist added to our growing collection. With a background in cinema and audiovisuals, Cerdà is a firm believer that characters can be defined by a space, even if they are not present within it. It is this cinematic approach that makes her miniature dioramas stand out.

Made of cut paper and watercolors, they include such details as houseplants and illustrated floor tiles. Based in Barcelona, she admits to being particularly inspired by the signature ceramic tiles in her city.

“Here in Barcelona tiles were very popular at the end of the 19th century,” Cerdà explained in an interview with We Heart, adding that nowadays a lot of houses still have them. “I’m also influenced by all the cities I’ve visited.,” she says. “Traveling is so inspiring.”

Each piece begins with a detailed sketch of what Cerdà has in mind, after which she looks for reference images. The creation process itself depends on the piece and can take between one or two days to more than three weeks. “I like to find just the right tile designs or the best plants to go with the piece,” she says.

“I have been fascinated with miniatures and modelmaking ever since I was little and can remember making miniature things out of cardboard boxes ever since I was very young,” recalled Smith in an interview with The Daily Miniature. “The interest stems from building model kits when I was a kid and I have always been fascinated with miniature scenes from model railroads.”

But it took him some time to turn his original passion into a fulltime job. Formerly a self-taught stencil artist, Smith refocused his career to establishing an art gallery based in Adelaide, South Australia showcasing both emerging and well established local. But in 2015, after the closure of his gallery, he refocused back onto his own career this time as a self-taught miniaturist. All in all his career spans across 18 years, with over 100 exhibitions in cities like London, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Hong Kong.

“I like making things which look realistic and I like to play with perspective,” he says. “It’s funny when I take photos of my miniatures… people think that it is something that is actual real life scale but then when I take a photo of something in real life, they are wondering if it is miniature! I like messing around with that and it is something that I really enjoy doing.”

This talented artist didn’t stop there. She took it a step further and surrounded them with green vegetation and other more delicate details.

These micro houses are tied to a wooden frame with wires, and look like they float in mid-air which only enhances the dramatic effect. Check out some of them below and get ready to be impressed.
