Today, we’re exploring the tiny, remarkably-believable world of miniaturist and diorama artist Andreas Rousounelis. The Greek artist has been modeling for 30 years, and all that experience definitely shows. While Rousounelis works in a variety of scales, his favorites are 1/24 and 1/35, which are very small indeed!

The artist reports that his working time, like his scale, can vary. Some pieces only take a couple of weeks to complete, but his most complicated works can take months. He seems to divide his time between creating gorgeous, perfectly-kept rooms and deliciously-dilapidated ones. I can’t decide which I prefer.

“My ultimate goal as an artist is for my audience to take away a range of emotions from my dioramas. I want my work to evoke feelings in the viewer and I hope that they will be able to share the emotions that I have put into each of my artworks. I want my dioramas to be an emotional experience for the viewer, one that they can connect with on a personal level and that they can relate to in their own way. I hope my work will leave a lasting impression on people and that it will inspire them to explore their own feelings and emotions.” – About Andreas Rousounelis
