This fanciful miniature comes from the imagination of the talented Daniil Molodkin. His Grassworld theme is as creatively infinite as it is aesthetically appealing. Little dwarfs invented by him, live in grassworld towns and have different professions. They can be hunters, scientists, fishermen, sellers, doctors, etc. This box, for example, shows the dwarfs-artist who paints a picture sitting on the stump that rises from the pond.
The palette is filled with a wide array of earthtones to convey the natural setting in the scene. He also uses blues, reds, and tones that help to create the stylized atmosphere that make Daniil's compositions uniquely his own. In the sea of plants there is a great amount of movement that is very fluid and shows that the artist's hand handles a brush smoothly and accurately. Gold paint is used to detail the scene, and to create an eye-catching gleam around the already powerful combination of color and linear movement.
A gold foliage pattern frames the composition, and this same pattern (only smaller in size) decorates the sides of the box.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and the box rests on legs. The work is signed with the artist's name, Mstera and the title.
