Floating worlds in a test tube from a Dutch artist

Small worlds floating in the air that seem so fabulous that you would definitely want to be transported there are created by Dutch artist Rosa de Jong. She uses a variety of materials to create her stunningly precise works, including twigs brought by her cat, stones from the Caribbean islands and sand brought from Monument Valley in Utah. Rose places tiny sculptures of houses, trees, and water towers in glass tubes.

You've probably seen transparent bottles with ships inside. But we're willing to bet that you probably haven't seen the whole world in a test tube.

Architectural objects made with stunning detail are integrated into the natural environment. All these miniature sculptures are part of a series of works called “Micro Matter”.

Trees, tall in the scale of the tiny composition, climbing plants and grass enliven the scene and balance the cold whiteness with shades of green.

Playing with gravity brings a touch of surrealism to the scenes.

With a surprisingly laconic set of tools and materials, the artist manages to realize a project of any complexity.

Rosa de Jong constantly improves her creative methods, which affects the aesthetics of her unique designs.

The transparent glass of the small capsule reliably protects the miniature sculpture from damage and allows the viewer to examine everything in great detail.

In addition, the “test tube world” looks like an expensive souvenir, which can be a good solution for choosing it as an original gift or a cute decorative accessory in the interior of your home or office.

Among her works are fantastic cliff houses, pastoral rural houses and even campsites. Some of this Rose saw in childhood and recreated from memory, other objects are the fruit of her fantasies and dreams.

In her work, the artist uses paper, cardboard, branches, moss, grass, bark and other materials. To assemble miniatures from them, Rosa became adept at using instruments with the precision of an experienced surgeon. The result is impressive!

Some surreal scenes even play with the concept of gravity by switching up and down.

The designer’s goal is to arouse interest and a state of meditation in the viewer, which she succeeds in doing.

Rosa de Jong draws her subjects from nostalgic childhood memories, dreams and fantasies, whose ephemerality she manages to materialize with such skill!

The intricacy of the plots attracts attention for a long time, forcing you to consider an impressive amount of carefully worked out details that add up to familiar and unknown images.

The artist sells miniature works of art on her website. The designer from Amsterdam charges from $135 for her art objects, and her number of clients is constantly growing. After all, in fact, such an amount is simply insignificant, as for such fine jewelry work. Rosa creates each sculpture only in a single copy.

All creations are made purely from natural materials and by hand. The artist plans to start making entire villages and cities of microscopic size...
