- Please show somewhat about you and the way you receive started in a hard-to-find art form - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids is certainly creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and 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 several types of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. However a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to check out a buddy. It absolutely was a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from items of different types of wood and composed being a mosaic, in one unit. However was surprised, wherever possible, only using natural wood with no colors, increase the risk for bet on texture and color to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone would be the years and decades is usually to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the situation is different or wooden inlay isstill purely available to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich along with the court nobility. I believe that today the situation have not changed. True inlay available continues to be exactly the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified kinds of marquetry, however they are far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct place on stream, will not be the masterpieces from the highest level.
- As you know, the bradenton area received the best flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the development of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is a result of the lack of a unified style, a type of layering, which was the hallmark of this kind of art in Russia. We had arrived able to absorb the best of the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to handle marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Thus far, the true masters, able to create masterpieces of wood - one, because this type of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in various varieties of trees, the experience of taste, style and talent to grab a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare keen on marquetry can be called by the names of everyone who is considered an experienced in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.
- In terms of today, popular products, made in the appearance of marquetry? All things considered, they're much more the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
