- Please inform us just a little about you and the way you get started in an infrequent art form - marquetry.

- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids is certainly creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered on the list of masters available the most effective. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands

My passion for various kinds of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it absolutely was interesting. But a really strong impression on me picture I saw, came once to visit a friend. It absolutely was a tiny operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different kinds of wood and composed being a mosaic, in a single unit. Then I was surprised, whenever you can, only using natural wood without the colors, make the sport of color and texture to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years decades is always to learn this art and master it toperfection.

- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the specific situation has changed or wooden inlay isstill only obtainable on the elite?

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I believe that today the problem has not yet changed. True inlay available remains just the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified varieties of marquetry, but they are far inferior to manual work. There isn't any doubt that theproduct placed on stream, will not be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- You know, this area received the greatest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?

- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely associated with the growth and development of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is due to the lack of a unified style, some sort of layering, which has been the hallmark with this sort of art in Russia. We had been capable to soak up good the setand create something of the diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to deal with marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,capable to create masterpieces out of wood?

- Currently, the real masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood - one, because this form of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the different varieties of trees, a feeling of taste, style and talent to grab a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry can be called from the names of everybody who is considered an expert in this case. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.

- In terms of today, popular products, stated in the style of marquetry? After all, these are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
