- Please reveal a bit with regards to you and just how you will get were only available in an uncommon form of art - marquetry.

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

My desire for various kinds of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it absolutely was interesting. But a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to visit a friend. It had been a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different types of wood and composed as being a mosaic, in a single unit. I then was surprised, whenever you can, using only natural wood minus the colors, result in the bet on texture and color to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years 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 evolved or wooden inlay isstill only available for the elite?

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and the court nobility. I believe that today your situation hasn't changed. True inlay available remains to be only the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified varieties of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct placed on stream, won't be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- You may already know, this area received the very best flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?

- Progression of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the development of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is because of the possible lack of a unified style, a kind of layering, that has been the hallmark of the form of art in Russia. I was in a position to soak up the very best of the setand create something of their diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit could only take care of marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. The number of artists today,able to create masterpieces from wood?

- Thus far, the real masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, as this type of art requires perseverance, attention,understanding of the different varieties of trees, the experience of taste, style and talent to get a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry could be called from the names of everybody that is considered an expert in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.

- As much as today, popular products, produced in design for marquetry? In fact, they are much more the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
