Alexei Mikulin’s Hand-Built Moscow Miniatures
Alexei Mikulin, a Russian sculptor, creates miniature narrative objects from plasticine and cardboard. His hand-built dioramas depict everyday Moscow scenes—streets, shops, galleries, and small urban moments. The materials keep the work tactile, modest, and visibly handmade, balancing naivety with precision. Mikulin’s pieces transform ordinary city life into collectible, slightly theatrical models of remembered urban experience.
