- Please tell us somewhat of you and just how you get started in an uncommon form of art - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has been creative individuals. In line with 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 it was considered on the list of masters in the commercial one of the better. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My adoration for different types of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it absolutely was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to see a friend. It was a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different kinds of wood and composed as being a mosaic, in a unit. I quickly was surprised, as much as possible, using only natural wood devoid of the colors, make sport of color and texture to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the a number of decades is 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 available towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I believe that today the specific situation have not changed. True inlay available is still exactly the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified forms of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct wear stream, will never be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- As you know, the therapy lamp received the best flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Continuing development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely for this progression of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is due to having less a unified style, some sort of layering, which was the hallmark on this form of art in Russia. We had arrived capable to take up good the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to cope with marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,able to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Currently, the masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood Body, as this form of art requires perseverance, attention,understanding of various type of trees, the experience of taste, style and skill to pick up a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry might be called with the names of everyone who's considered an experienced in this case. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.
- As far as today, popular products, made in the appearance of marquetry? In fact, they're much more the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
