The Art of the Miniature

A work of fine art in miniature is a particularly personal object that draws the viewer into an intimate, concentrated little world that is breathtaking in its execution. Every single detail is miniaturized. The term miniature relates first of all to technique and as an identification and only secondly to the size of a painting. The viewer must view the work at close range to obtain a full appreciation of both the image and technique. This technique is a specialized means of producing a perfect balance of color and detail in a series of thinly applied layers of colors intended to reflect light, showing a high standard of design, and mastery of the chosen media and palette. There is a feeling of preciousness associated with the art form due in part to the fact that it can usually be held in the palm of your hand and displays finely detailed work in brilliant, gem-like colors.

Paintings of Krishna-lila, or the pastimes of Lord Krishna, are done in many different styles, often depending on what part of India they are found. They can be done on silk or cloth, canvas, on paper, thin pieces of marble, and they used to be done on thin slices of ivory before it was banned. Each of these mediums will provide the artists a certain level of refinement for details. Miniatures especially are often small paintings, but quite detailed. To get such details, the artist may even have to use a brush with a single bristle. The colors used are often natural, made from minerals, vegetables, chrushed precious and semi-precious stones stones, gold and silver. The mood of the painting is usually determined by the elements included in the painting, which are often based on pastimes described in the Vedic scriptures, or on the inspiration and devotion of the artist. The point is to invoke the same mood of devotion or inspiration in the viewer who simply sees or meditates on the painting and the mood therein.
