STORY ABOUT US
Pui-Wan Lim
Based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia |
Pico- is a tremendously small unit in metric system; -Worm is derived from the word 'bookworm'. The meaning behind PicoWorm is signifying somebody who loves to devote time in making something small – that person is me. Nestling in it are also the initials of my name, P.W.
I graduated with Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, struggled to secure a certificate for the profession. But lastly, I decided to pursue what I had longed for years, to be a full-time miniature artist. I'm a self-taught artist, and I really enjoy how the trial and error process brings me the joyfulness of crafting. This passion inspires and drives me throughout the years. I always believe miniature isn’t merely small, it also brings life to us. I pay close attention to realism and strive to evoke for you a sense of nostalgia through miniature art. There are many ways to help you keep something in mind, through a memo, a voice recorder, or a photo. But miniature is something you can touch and see, to recall your memories. - Every story worth to tell; Every moment worth to keep. 用手藝保留歲月 用作品追尋故事 |
