I’m A Brazilian That Creates The World’s Smallest Canvases

ADVERTISEMENT

It all started with a little joke. I wanted to use my jewelry tools in my art and started making small paintings as if they were jewelry, but I didn’t expect to make such small works of art and became recognized in my country for making the Smallest Flag of art in Brazil.

I am self-taught in the arts and began making paintings, sculptures, and engravings in 2005. Born in São Paulo, now aged 43, I joined Rank Brasil for making the smallest canvas in the world and painted the Brazilian flag on it.

Believe me, it’s a painting made only with a small 3x magnifying glass and a needle as a brush; I used gouache paint, with everything done by hand, even the frame.

I’d say it took me 15 years to paint the world’s smallest canvas in one day.

You do not believe it? See it with your own eyes.

    These dimensions are wrong given that's a normal human male hand. No way is that 0.7mm. I think the post needs to change its units of measurement to centimetres.
