"Willard Wigan was born in Birmingham, England in 1957 and is the creator of the smallest works of art on earth. From being a traumatised and unrecognised dyslexic child, he is now emerging as the most globally celebrated micro-miniaturist of all time and is literally capable of turning a spec of dust into a vision of true beauty."

Painstakingly fashioned from gold, specs of dust, precious gems, droplets of glue and paint along with numerous other materials including eyelashes and spiders webbing, each artwork is living proof of the power of belief.

It's unpredictable how long this talent will last, but ultimately his unique and exclusive creations will outlive him for generations to come, as national treasures like a priceless Rembrandt or Picasso.

Dear Jan,

I agree, Willard Wigan is awesome. I recently saw some of his artwork and it impressed me as fabulous. Thank you for featuring him here.

Thank you so much too for starting this thread as it has brought fresh inspiration to my forum. Lately I did not have the time to create new threads because the format I was using required a lot of research from my part, but now I could use this cool approach of yours (if you don't mind of course) to feature some good modern artists like Mr Wigan.  

Thank you again,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Dear Branka,

Thank you very much for visiting this thread and posting. As you know, all the merit for this presentation was Jan's, I only thanked her for bringing Willard Wigan "small" great art to my attention and that of this forum's visitors. It certainly was a great idea. But you are so right, Mr Wigan art is really beautiful and meaningful.

Thanks again,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

I see some of the graphics did not make the transition to the new community format; however, the link survived.

Fortunately I saved some of the graphics
