Greek-born watercolour and oil artist Chrysoula Argyros has had a passion for painting since her schooling in Vereeniging, and her 30-year+ career has seen work exhibited across the world in countries such as Hong Kong, Tasmania, the UK and USA.
Karyn Wiggill Bell took an early interest in art and remembers drawing from as young as 6 years of age on any paper she could find. In doing so, she developed a lifelong passion for pencil, watercolour and oil work.
“A miniature painting is an extremely detailed painting that can fit in the palm of your hand. It must incorporate all the same elements as a large painting, which is composition, tonal value, and also have exquisite colour and detail,” comments Karyn Wiggle Bell.
“I think that people love miniature art because it’s such delicate work, in such a small space. So it’s painted perfectly. The composition, the colour, everything is just perfect. And people collect these miniatures,” shares Chrysoula Argyros when asked about her craft and passion.
