      Tiny Worlds of Architecture & Trees

by Michael Davydov

In the miniature world of Michael Davydov, tiny houses, moons, trees, and barns balance precariously in clusters and stacks. Observing the architecture and flora around his home in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia, he taught himself how to draw and eventually began assembling small sculptures

The hobby quickly morphed into a passion for creating miniature realms in which diminutive structures jumble, float, and balance on one another, sometimes complemented by moss and slender coniferous trees. Inspired by the vernacular of northern climes, his houses resemble the small, stilted structures one might encounter in coastal villages in Greenland, for example, or the traditional timber dwellingsof Russian farmsteads.

Davydov often encases his scenes in glass, using domes or vials that lend the impression of delicate specimens being collected and preserved. 

Like folkloric fairy houses nestled in the woods, one can almost imagine wandering through a mossy forest and stumbling upon one of these tiny, enigmatic settlements.
