SUBJECT

Magnificent Miniatures showcases the artistry and precision of small-scale works, featuring paintings no larger than 9” x 12”. This contemporary-traditional exhibition highlights the beauty of landscapes, seascapes, portraits and still lifes where intricate detail and careful composition transform modest canvases into magnificent scenes.

EXAMPLES

Landscapes can feature small, richly detailed countryside scenes, capturing the mood of nature through light within compact dimensions. Seascapes can depict calm ocean scenes, evoking the vastness of the sea within a small frame. Portraits can be intimate, finely rendered works where expressive faces and classical poses are captured with meticulous precision. Still lifes can highlight fruits, flowers and everyday objects, where the miniature size enhances the sense of delicacy and refinement.
