Mehikanec Oscar Hinojosa s pomočjo Photoshopa in kančkom domišljije ustvarja miniaturne različice slavnih osebnosti, ki so obnorele svet. Njegova dela, polna humorja in natančnih podrobnosti, so mu prinesla na tisoče sledilcev in celo priznanje zvezd, kot je pevka Dua Lipa.

V svetu, kjer se zdi, da je vse usmerjeno v »večje je boljše«, je mehiški digitalni umetnik Oscar Hinojosa ubral povsem nasprotno pot. Spretno in z občutkom za podrobnosti krči filmske zvezde, športnike in ikone pop kulture v miniaturne različice, ki bi jih z lahkoto pospravili v dlan. Njegove stvaritve niso samo tehnično dovršene, pač pa  izžarevajo tudi edinstven šarm in duhovitost, ki sta mu prislužila zvesto občinstvo na spletu.

Artist turns celebs into hilarious pint-sized movie stars – and Dua Lipa's a fanMonterrey-based content creator Oscar Hinojosa has a very particular set of skills — the kind that involves making movie heroes small enough to fit in your pocket. Using nothing but Photoshop, a well-timed brownie, and the brainchild of one very tiny dog, Oscar has carved out a delightfully odd digital niche: creating "mini celebrities" from film, sport, and pop culture.His inspiration? A pint-sized pup and a weekend experiment with a "special brownie." Oscar recalls staring at his miniature mutt and thinking, "What would I look like if I were that tiny?" One Photoshop session later, he had his answer. Since then, he's miniaturized everyone from Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future to a shrunken Will Smith fending off miniature monsters in I Am Legend. "It's nostalgic and fun," he says."As long as people keep enjoying it, I'll keep creating." And enjoy it, they do. Oscar's micro-makeovers of Gladiator's Russell Crowe wielding a thimble-sized sword, or Cillian Murphy brooding in a baby Peaky Blinders cap, have earned him thousands of likes and a few celebrity reposts. Finneas (Billie Eilish's brother) is a serial sharer, and Oscar suspects he might be using the mini edits to tease his sister. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa gave one of his posts her stamp of approval — a moment he describes as "surreal."Each piece takes about 30 minutes now (down from an hour), all crafted manually with Adobe Photoshop — no AI, just old-school YouTube learning. While some edits are a breeze, like a tiny Kevin from Home Alone defending his micro-house, others like his tennis-themed pieces or Cristiano Ronaldo lifting a mouse-sized trophy take time and a perfect shot. And what's the most common reaction? "People love it when I mini someone who's already short. I get comments like, 'Where's the edit?'" Oscar laughs. With over 30,000 likes on some posts and a global fanbase, Oscar (also known as Phetru) proves that no dream is too small — literally.ENDS,Image: 1020791628, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions:, Model Release: no

Navdih za nenavaden konjiček je Hinojosa dobil med opazovanjem svojega malega psa, ko se mu je porodila ideja, da bi lahko na podoben, pomanjšan način upodobil tudi slavne osebnosti. Tako se je rodila serija digitalnih kolažev, v kateri Will Smith ne lovi pošasti v naravni velikosti, temveč se spopada z njihovimi miniaturnimi različicami, Michael J. Fox pa v svojem pomanjšanem DeLoreanu komaj doseže stopalke.

Hinojosova dela odlikuje izjemna natančnost. Kljub majhnosti so liki prepoznavni do zadnje podrobnosti – od igle namesto meča v roki miniaturnega Russella Crowa v vlogi gladiatorja do značilnega klobuka, ki ga nosi komaj vidni Cillian Murphy kot Thomas Shelby iz serije Peaky Blinders. Vsaka podoba je skrbno izdelana ročno, brez pomoči umetne inteligence, za kar umetnik, ki se ima za predstavnika stare šole, porabi približno pol ure.

Njegov talent ni ostal neopažen. Fotografije, ki jih redno objavlja na svojih družbenih omrežjih, zbirajo na tisoče všečkov in navdušenih komentarjev. Še več, Hinojosovo delo so opazile tudi nekatere zvezde, ki jih je upodobil. Prelomni trenutek zanj je bil, ko je eno izmed njegovih stvaritev na svojem profilu delila svetovno znana pevka Dua Lipa. »Bilo je skoraj neverjetno,« je povedal Hinojosa ob tem nepričakovanem priznanju, ki mu je odprlo vrata do širše prepoznavnosti.
