I Like To Build Small Nature Inspired Dioramas

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Josua. I live in a beautiful city, Bern, which is the capital of Switzerland. I got into scale modeling and dioramas about ten years ago, and since then, I regularly build miniature worlds in various shapes and sizes.

I challenged myself to build realistic art scenes on a plinth that is only 20mm on 20mm in size, and I already created a wide variety of these miniature animals.
Making unique art like that help me to get a good balance in my day to day life and also helps me to calm down after a stressful day.

I try to use as many natural materials as possible. I often collect nice-looking branches/twigs or small plants and liches to preserve them and make it usable for my beautiful art projects.

My goal is to tell stories with these little scenes, no matter how small the scale is. In some cases, I do not complete these scenes intentionally as I like the fact that people interpret the stories differently from their own perspective.

Enough words from my side, I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

I hope you enjoy this cool kind of art!

    Thank you for the kind comment! Pretty interesting that you interpret the kitten scene as peaceful, that is definitely not what most people see in it . This is exactly why I love to create these scenes, people feel and experience different things when they see my stuff. Thanks for taking the time to write a comment
