- Please inform us a little about yourself and exactly how you receive entered a rare form of art - marquetry.
- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has been creative individuals. In line with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered among the masters available one of the better. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for a variety 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 see a buddy. It absolutely was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different varieties of wood and composed as being a mosaic, in a unit.

- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the situation changed or wooden inlay isstill only available to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do think that today your situation has not changed. True inlay available remains to be exactly the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified forms of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct placed on stream, won't be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- Continuing development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely associated with the progression of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is because of deficiency of a unified style, some sort of layering, which was the hallmark of the sort of art in Russia. We had been capable of absorb the best of the setand create something of their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to cope with marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,capable to create masterpieces away from wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood Body, simply because this sort of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the many type of trees, the experience of taste, style and talent to grab a tree in color, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry might be called by the names of everybody who is considered a professional in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.
- So far as today, popular products, produced in the style of marquetry? All things considered, they are more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
