Chest of Colors is one of the longest running groups of figure painters in Europe, if not the world. It has been active continuously since the early 2000s, although some of its artists have been painting since the first half of the 1990s.
Chest of Colors has evolved over its 20-plus years of activity. It began as a group of enthusiastic hobbyists united by a common passion for figure painting, and is now a team of professional miniature painters. During its existence, it brought together painters from many countries of the world, and now, to improve its operations, it has focused on respected painters from Poland.
Most of our team members boast many years of experience in their art and a wide range of artistic achievements. In our team we have recognized painters, winners of many awards in painting competitions and events – from small local exhibitions to international competitions such as Golden Demon.

Since what we do is not only our job, but above all our passion, we are eager to use our skills and experience to make your miniatures beautiful and inspiring little works of art. It doesn’t matter if they will adorn your display cases or take part in tabletop battles.
What we do
We don’t limit our activity in the miniature painting industry to offering miniature painting service. We have been consistently involved in supporting the the painting community and promoting this hobby for many years. We participate in the organization of competitions, exhibitions and events both in Poland and abroad. We visit miniature-painting events in various countries and cities. We organize painting meetings, courses, trainings and classes. We support charity initiatives, and cooperate with numerous companies in our industry and related industries.

Not a miniature painting studio?
Wait, so is Chest of Colors simply a miniature painting studio? No, we never wanted to think of ourselves as a studio. We refer to ourselves as a team of miniature painters, or simply a creative collective.
Studios tend to develop a common and unified style. We, on the other hand, pride ourselves on the individuality of our artists. While we may offer painting in a generic style which makes it difficult to recognize who is the author of the work, our strength is the diversity of our painters. Each can paint in their own style and follow their own creative path. This brings out the best in their work and reflects each artist’s sensibilities and stylistic preferences.
Rather than standardizing our art, we encourage an emphasis on individuality. Therefore, instead of defining ourselves as a studio, we consistently consider Chest of Colors a team of painters.
Legacy of decades
More than twenty years of our activity have resulted in countless painted miniatures, which you can view in our gallery. We have written numerous articles and tutorials. We have created reports from painting events we have participated in, co-organized, and in which we have often won awards. For more than a dozen years we formed a very active painting community, gathered around a forum, the archive of which you can still see, as we preserved it as a reminder of a certain era.
Unfortunately, much of our work has not survived, and some of it is not currently available online. However, we encourage you to learn more about our contribution to the history of miniature painting, and to contact us. Your messages always give us great pleasure and motivate us to continue our work!
