The ability of marquetry (inlaid wood) became known many centuries ago. However, even after a century, it has not lost its relevance,giving the world the amazing in the cosmetics that may beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The fact the spot has become themarquetry on the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of marquetry portraits.

- Please show just a little of you and how you will get began in a rare talent - marquetry.

- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has been creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he would have been a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged 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 love for several types of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. But a really strong impression on me the photo I saw, came once to go to a friend. It was a tiny operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different kinds of wood and composed as being a mosaic, within a unit. Then I was surprised, wherever possible, only using natural wood minus the colors, result in the sport of color and texture to pick ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone would be the years and decades would be to learn this art and master it toperfection.

- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the problem is different or wooden inlay isstill only accessible for the elite?

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I think that today the problem has not yet changed. True inlay available remains to be merely the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There isn't any doubt that theproduct wear stream, should never be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- As you know, the therapy lamp received the highest 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 development of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my opinion, is due to the lack of a unified style, a kind of layering, which was the hallmark on this form of art in Russia. We were capable of take up the best of the setand create something of the diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to cope with marquetry, this sort of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,in a position to create masterpieces beyond wood?

- Currently, the masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood Body, simply because this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in the many types of trees, the sense of taste, style and ability to get a tree in color, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry can be called from the names of everyone who is considered an expert in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.

- As much as today, popular products, stated in design for marquetry? After all, they are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
