I started to make dioramas as a way to satisfy my desire for artistic expression. I particularly enjoy creating dioramas of abandoned places because they evoke a sense of emotion and atmosphere. Despite being deserted, these settings are full of character and feeling.
I used many materials like wood, resin, plastic and paper. Mostly inspired from real places all over the world.
The amount of time it takes to complete each diorama can vary greatly. Some may only take a few weeks to finish, while others may take several months to complete. This is something that is unique to each individual diorama and can be affected by various factors such as the size, complexity, and level of detail required for the project.

This reminds me of a Swedish TV-show called Macken with Roy & Roger.
I love abandoned scenes because they have a mysterious atmosphere and evoke deep emotions. There's something captivating about their eerie yet beautiful nature.
These abandoned scenes often tell nostalgic stories and carry a dramatic feeling. The facades I create are inspired by architecture from all over the world. While they may not tell a specific story, I enjoy capturing the unique architectural styles of different countries in miniature form.
I'm always striving to add more details for a more realistic result. I know a diorama is complete when every detail feels just right to me.
Wow, how do you make those tine papers? Under a microscope? Splendid work!
Different countries have different architectural styles, which influences what my customers are interested in. For example, customers from the USA are often drawn to abandoned store facades or desolate rooms, while European customers tend to prefer gothic-style rooms or house facades.
As a miniature artist, I see myself not only as a creator but also as a designer. I always think like an artist, carefully choosing colors, materials, and every detail to bring my work to life.
Very nice! This one reminds me of a secondary [side] entrance to Finchley Central tube station (Northern Line, London Borough of Barnet).
I love this! Even though there is nothing toy like about these, I feel like I was transported back to my childhood where if I came across one of these I would sit for hours dreaming up stories. The detail is other-worldly.
Hello Andreas, mag-ni-fi-cent work! I’m stunned. The one thing I adore most in your lovely dioramas are the meticulously applied traces of aging in most of your pieces on display here. Your attention for detail is outstanding. Another thing I really adore is your sense for “un-tidyness” in some of the interiour dioramas. Very realistic (well, at least if I take a look at my own home). Bottom line: excellent! I’m gonna scroll right back to the top of the page and view ‘em all once more. Thanks for sharing!
