Ana Sofía Casaverde, an exceptionally talented Peruvian artist, has achieved a remarkable artistic feat by painstakingly recreating Monet's "Woman with a Parasol" using a simple needle. Her talent and passion for miniatures pushed her to explore the world of art on an incredibly small scale. This is how she undertook to create a miniature version of this famous impressionist work, a real challenge that would put her dexterity and creativity to the test.

Thanks to his perseverance and skill, Casaverde managed to faithfully reproduce every detail of the original work, thus capturing all the essence and magic of Monet's famous painting. His miniature "Woman with a Parasol", less than a square inch in size, was a true technical feat, demonstrating the extent of his artistry.

But the real consecration for Casaverde came when her steps led her to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. There she was able to gaze at the original of Claude Monet's "Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and her Son", while proudly holding her own miniature replica. The emotion that came over her at that moment was indescribable. She felt moved and honored to be able to compare her meticulous work with the work of the great master of Impressionism.

Visitors to the museum who had the chance to witness this exceptional encounter were also fascinated by the meticulousness and ingenuity of Casaverde. They were impressed by the way she managed to convey the essence of Monet's work in such a small space. For Casaverde, each miniature she creates is a personal challenge, a quest for artistic perfection where she strives to transcribe the emotions and messages of the artists she admires.

Talking about her creative process, Casaverde explained that she meticulously studies the practices and influences of the artists she wishes to reproduce in miniature. This is an essential step to better understand their message and to be able to convey it in their small-scale creations. Each brushstroke is imbued with care and precision, as she strives to retain the essence of the original work, while fitting it into a space as small as a postage stamp.


Besides her love for miniature painting, Casaverde is also passionate about pocket origami and paper cut sculpture. These two artistic disciplines enrich his creative universe, allowing him to explore other forms of artistic expression on an equally small scale. Her curiosity and her desire for improvement drive her to constantly explore new artistic possibilities.
