tiny paintings

Very small canvases

Tiny paintings are miniature artworks, typically small enough to fit in a palm or display in compact spaces.

The term encompasses both historical portrait miniatures—once carried as keepsakes or worn as jewelry—and contemporary small-scale art that has gained popularity on social media.
