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.
