Statue of liberty in needle's eye
Snow white and seven dwarfs in an eye of a needle.. (Wicked witch is on the top)
Elvis on a pin head
Boxing ring next to match stick head
Gal with a baloon, on an eyelash glued to needle eye..
A royal court in an eye of a needle..
Now then, creating all these is difficult in itself, but u may say there are many in these world who are capable of such microscopic art.. Well, the reason i ve put this one here is because this is different.. The man who did this is here below..
Yes he is the one
Willard Wigan
He has a learning disability(dyslexia), But has talented hands..
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.
He is the creator of the world's smallest sculptures, often taking months to complete one, working between heart beats to avoid hand tremors.
Wigan uses a tiny surgical blade to carve his microscopic figures out of rice, grains of sand and sugar, which are then mounted on pinheads.
Science has for along time shown us worlds we cannot see with our eyes. Willard's impossibly small art is beginning to explore this territory and, in a world of increasing miniaturisation, is taking art into the new millennium..
Willard experienced many problems at school as a dyslexic child and he is completely self taught..
"I guess it can only be described as a gift, or maybe my brain has somehow compensated for my lack of ability in academic areas" - Said Wigan while on an interview, when asked bout his qualities and how he acquired these..
He discovered his ability to make things on a micro-scale at the age of five or six. He had a very difficult time at school due to unrecognised dyslexia and He used to spend hours in his own little micro-world studying insects, ants in particular, which he regarded as his little friends. From there he started making microscopic houses and playgrounds for them(insects) using matchsticks and splinters of wood. To encourage the ants to use them, he coated them with sugar or honey. As he grew up, he progressed from carving matchsticks to twigs, to branches and eventually to tree trunks.
Micro-sculpture remains his great passion, little things really can mean a lot! As a by-product of this work he also taught himself to produce the delicate aircraft which can fly for up to an hour powered by elastic.
Now that there are news that he is retiring from creation of this microsculptures, But one thing is for sure, only he ll retire, his works will be an inspiration to all those in these world who suffer from one or the other disability, an inspiration that if they are willing to rule the minds of all in these world, the goal is not far from them..
They can achieve anything and everything, and as Wigan showed to them a crystal clear mind mixed with Patience, dedication, concentration and persistence can lead to a path of brightness..
