Beautiful Tiny Paintings On Random Everyday Objects

To most people these items are just normal everyday objects, but to this Turkish artist, they’re a blank canvas.


Hasan Kale, a well known micro-artist, involved in painting since his early childhood, began his career by drawing miniatures in Istanbul. Artist uses his miniature drawing talent for his paintings, tries to interpret miniature art with a contemporary eye. He paints on things we see,  exposed or ignored in our daily lives like a rice, a nail, a silk cacoon, a needle, a buttterfly wing. Hasan Kale considers these micro-works as a turning point for his career.

“Things we usually see can turn into something invisible” he says and tries to call attention to that notion.

Besides micro-paintings, it is possible to observe miniature drawing techniques’ tracks in his bigger canvases. In the paintings, he creates imageries with a miniature genre. The artist claims the essence of the aesthetics in art, with a detail-oriented look. His use of light reveals the romantic attempts of his art view. As a point of view, he feels more close to neo-classic and neo-orientalist art movements.
