“The Most Expensive Paintings In The World Can Be Smaller Than A Coin.”

Art is very old and has survived for centuries, forcing artists to use their imagination to excel in this competitive and creative world.

It’s not common to create a small piece and it’s still a bit of work. Dedicating yourself to an art requires time and a lot of imagination. It can take hours, days, months or years to complete a work, and its cost does not affect the price of the art. An art can cost millions for being unique.

Today everything is made in production, everything is common and the same, if you look at the side you can find the same thing in several places, but an art is really something unique. You won’t find anything like it in the Universe, that’s why it’s so expensive, its price is not calculated by the material or the time spent, but by its unique rarity.

Today we are going to talk about a small artist, but with a great soul, who stood out in his country for having made very small paintings, measuring from 10 millimeters to 0.7 tenths of a millimeter. It is worth mentioning that it is handmade, did not use nanotechnology. Today nanotechnology can be created with millimeter art using a microscope or computers, but there are those who prefer to use basic tools like a needle to paint something so small.

Brazilian artist stands out for having made such small paintings. In Brazil, there is an institution that records unusual things, and the artist was set for having made the smallest Brazilian flag. She measures 0.7 tenths of a millimeter, using only a needle and a small magnifying glass, she had the privilege of being honored with this trophy and a certificate.

These works are displayed in an acrylic box for easy viewing, but the comics are on a glass base because they are so small.

A landscape painted on something so small doesn’t mean that the view isn’t breathtaking, you can’t feel the heat or the noise of the waves, but you can see something amazing that is the human ability to create things.

I imagine that a child seeing it could mistake it for a figurine and play with it, but that’s adult play.

This work few can see without the use of a lens. Imagine the difficulty to paint something so small.

Wesley in his country participated in several reports, and this video is one of them.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
