About the Artist

BIO:

Velsimo is an international street artist and photographer who started being publicly artsy in 2018 (and non-publicly artsy ever since she can remember). She creates tiny scenes in unexpected places and photographs them. Her subjects are on a scale of 1:87 (that’s teeny-tiny!). To get a sense of that scale, imagine you got your hands on Szalinski’s Shrinking Machine (from the movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) and you shrunk a six-foot-tall human down to two centimeters tall. That tiny person could comfortably sit on the edge of your fingernail.

VISION:

  • Make people laugh.

  • Make people think.

  • Make people act.

She hopes her work can provoke thought, inspire action, and ultimately affect positive change in the world.

ROOTS and CURRENT LOCATION:

Velsimo is originally from Saskatchewan, Canada (a prairie girl!) and is currently based in Luxembourg.
