Incredible Animal Miniatures Created by Hungarian Artist Go Viral

To truly recreate any object in miniature form, you have to pay attention to the smallest details. That’s something Hungarian miniature artist Fanni Sandor knows first hand because this biologist worked in various nature conservation projects.

But once her kids were born, she started dedicating herself to creating miniature works of art that are so intricate, they’ll blow your mind. Lately, Sandor has been focusing on accurately recreating miniature animals that you’d swear were the real thing.

Owl’s Looking Sharp

As a biologist and nature lover, Fanni Sandor is very familiar with all sorts of species. So, she uses the knowledge from her career as inspiration to recreate tiny animal sculptures, like this miniature owl that looks so realistic, you’d swear it was photoshopped. Even the sharp claws look real!

Momma’s Feeding Her Chick

During an interview, Sandor said: “In my twenties, I saw professional miniaturists’ work for the first time through the internet. I was completely fascinated. I realized there are a lot of miniature lovers who live around the world, and some of them are making miniatures at an artistic level.

That was the point when I decided I wanted to be a professional miniaturist and I wanted to make art with my works.”

It’s a Lizard of a Day

“I’m used to drawing, painting, and sculpting, so I had the basic skills which are needed for this art form,” she said. Sandor practiced day and night until she mustered up the courage to show her first new generation of miniature work to the world.

“In my work, my most important aim is to produce realistic and detailed representations,” she explained.

Chip, Chip, Chip, Chip and Dale!

Although these chipmunks aren’t as anthropomorphic as the adorable Disney characters, they’re cuter than a puppy at an animal shelter! No attention to detail was spared when putting these sculptures together.

Sandor even made some cracked nuts to make it seem like the chipmunks were having a feast.
