I Create Miniature Framed Paintings That Fit In The Palm Of A Hand (31 Pics)

I’m Maria Titan, a fine artist with a big love for tiny things. Over the past year, I’ve been creating miniature framed paintings — each one small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but full of story, texture, and feeling.
These “Little Gems” are hand-painted originals, often nestled in vintage or antique-style frames that add to their charm. Some are whimsical. Some are nostalgic. Some are quietly strange. Each piece is its own tiny world, and no two are alike.
Here’s a look at the collection so far. Let me know your favorite — I’d love to hear what stories they spark for you.
All of these mini paintings are part of my “Little Gems” series — tiny framed art with a big personality. You can find them in my Etsy shop.

This tiny oil painting captures a moment of quiet awe. Crowned and lost in thought, she looks heavenward — maybe for answers, maybe for escape. Painted on a miniature canvas and framed like a royal heirloom, she’s a Renaissance dream in pocket-sized form.

Yeehaw meets Versailles. These pink cowboy boots might be painted small, but their energy is loud. Tucked inside a baroque gold frame, they strut with sass and vintage flair. The Wild West, but make it couture.
