Talking Miniatures with Enric Mikkelsen

What does it take to create miniature art that feels personal, cinematic and competition-ready? In this episode, Enric Mikkelsen (Fenrick Studios) shares his approach to storytelling, artistic confidence and the mental side of high-level miniature painting. We explore how he plans and develops a piece, uses cinematic lighting and colour to create emotion, and balances technical skill with personal expression. Enric also talks openly about fear, failure, competition pressure, routine and mental health, as well as the ideas behind his new book, Behind the Brush. A thoughtful conversation about artistic growth, sustainable creativity and finding your own voice as a miniature painter.
