- Please inform us a bit of you and exactly how you receive began in a rare talent - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children is definitely creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front end in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of the masters in the business one of the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My desire for several types of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it absolutely was interesting. However a really strong impression on me picture I saw, came once to visit an associate. It had been a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different varieties of wood and composed as a mosaic, in a unit. Then I was surprised, wherever possible, only using natural wood minus the colors, make the bet on color and texture to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years 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 has evolved or wooden inlay isstill purely available to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do think that today the situation have not changed. True inlay available remains to be only the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified kinds 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 of the highest level.
- You may already know, el born area received the best 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 for this development of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is caused by deficiency of a unified style, a kind of layering, that has been the hallmark on this type of art in Russia. We had arrived in a position to take in good the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to cope with marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,capable to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood - one, since this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with various varieties of trees, a feeling of taste, style and talent to pick up a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry could be called through the names of everybody who is considered an expert in such cases. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.
- As far as today, popular products, manufactured in design for marquetry? In fact, they're similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
