Artists tend to use all sorts of things as a canvas for their artwork. Some opt for usual material like fabric and paper, while others choose more intricate ones like glass and metal. But none of those is what Italian painter Golsa Golchini uses.

Golchini has a unique habit of painting miniature paintings on her hands. And despite working with a small amount of space and unusual canvas, her works are true tiny masterpieces.

Each of Golchini’s creations that rests on her hand until washed is carefully planned. She uses fingers, palms, nails, knuckles, and other parts of the hand to create a more effective and lively scene. The results are amazing to such an extent that you wouldn’t be too surprised if a small goldfish on her palm suddenly comes to life.

Golchini was born in Teheran, Iran, but has lived and worked in Milan, Italy, since the early 2000s. She is a Fine Arts Academy of Brera graduate and works in various art disciplines, including visual arts and photography.

“My artworks are my way of communicating with the observer about the things of everyday life that we all have in common. Things we do, objects we use, emotions we feel,” Golchini explains on her website. Continue scrolling and check out more of Golchini’s miniature paintings.

Painter Dina Brodsky manages to cram whole landscapes, animals, and people, into miniature canvases. A contemporary realist miniaturist, she admits that though she tried painting on all sorts of scales, she found herself drawn to miniature work—the smaller the better.

“I remember my mother taking me to a children’s art school in Minsk that one of her friends was running – I must have been around 5,” she recalled in an interview with Whitehot Magazine. “He asked me to draw a figure, and put me in front of an easel with a large pad of newsprint, I drew a figure that took up a tiny corner. He asked me to try again, bigger, and I drew something only slightly bigger. After a few attempts, he told my mother he couldn’t really teach me.”

Luckily, Brodsky disregarded his advice and pushed onward. Growing up immersed in anything and everything art-related (her mother, being a musician, was surrounded by artists), might have also been a catalyzer.

But it was only when she started going to university, that she found herself enamored with painting after taking an art foundation class. “Within less than a week I was completely in love (or addicted, depending on the point of view) – I knew that this was what I wanted to do, every day, for the rest of my life,” she says.

She hasn’t looked back since.

Khara Ledonne loves everything about painting. She used to paint huge murals on buildings but now focuses on creating tiny paintings.

“Miniatures were an experimental accident. I think it is a combination of both the idea – having something inspiring in a secret, personal place – and the attentive, skilled craft, that make these little things so magnetic,” she wrote on Etsy.

She uses oil enamel and a very small brush to make the detailed tiny worlds from her artistic imagination. All pieces are hand-made, painted from scratch, and no two items are the same. So every drawing is unique and beautiful in its own way.
