ROBERT OLSZEWSKI’S CREATIONS

Mr. Olszewski is probably the best-known miniaturist in the world. A degreed artist, he taught while getting established. His interest in miniatures began while building a dollhouse for his daughter. He’s pursued miniature figurative work full-time since 1978. Perhaps you’ve seen the mini Hummels he’s done for the Goebel company, or the figures he created for the Walt Disney Classics. (We still have a few for sale.)

 

Creating these miniature works of art requires many steps. Each begins as wax, which is sculpted using very fine tools. This process can take from 100 to 400 hours. Many steps later, the miniatures are cast in pewter. Bronze is used to add strength where necessary. Before hand painting, the figurine is airbrushed with several coats of white paint. Color glazes and washes are applied, with many drying periods in between, before the final features are painted. No two are ever alike!
