주머니 시계 속의 동화같은 미니어처 세계


그리스 화가 그레고리 그로조스는 주머니 시계와 펜던트 안에 미니어처 세계를 넣어 골동품 장신구에 새 생명을 불어넣는다. 고전 미술, 판타지, 스팀펑크에서 영감을 받아 손으로 만든 각각의 미니어처 작품은 작은 집, 직장, 심지어 숲 속에 작은 조각상들이 놓여 있는 가상의 마이크로코스에 대한 이야기를 들려준다.


그로조스는 "몇 년 전 나는 한 사람이 짊어질 수 있는 아주 작은 세상을 만들 생각을 했다"고 말한다. "그 후 나는 정확히 그것을 할 수 있는 방법을 개발하기 시작했다. 내 작품은 매우 고단하고, 대부분의 작품을 완성하는 데 며칠 혹은 심지어 몇 주가 걸린다." 세심하게 구성된 각 송곳니들은 작은 조각상, 작은 톱니바퀴, 그리고 작은 나무와 같이 개별적으로 배치된 수많은 요소들로 이루어져 있다. 그로조스의 많은 스팀펑크 영감을 받은 작품들은 복잡한 기계와 작은 사람들이 안에서 일하는 그들의 금속 케이스 안에 공장 전체를 수용하는 것처럼 보인다.

Greek artist Gregory Grozos gives new life to antique jewelry by encasing miniature worlds inside pocket watches and pendants. Inspired by classic art, fantasy, and steampunk, each handmade piece of miniature art tells stories of imaginary microcosms, where tiny figurines are placed among little homes, workplaces, and even forests.




“A few years ago I had the idea of making an entire tiny world which a person can carry on him or her,” reveals Grozos. “I then started developing ways to do exactly that. My work is very painstaking and most pieces take days or even weeks to complete.” Each carefully composed trinket is made of countless individually placed elements such as tiny figurines, little cogs, and miniature trees. Many of Grozos’ steampunk inspired pieces seem to house entire factories inside their metal casings, with complex machinery and tiny people working inside.



Other pieces are inspired by fairytales, such as one pocket watch featuring a miniature Jack and the Beanstalk scene inside of it. Despite the lack of space, Grozos still manages to tell the whole story by cleverly dividing the scene into levels connected by the famous beanstalk. Another piece features a teeny-tiny apothecary inside a Victorian-era pocket watch case. Impressively, it’s full of little details, such as rows of bottles, jars, and containers of varying sizes.


You can see many more of Grozos’ miniature worlds and even purchase some on Etsy.
