- Please inform us a bit with regards to you and the way you obtain were only available in an uncommon form of art - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has long been creative individuals. In accordance with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of many masters available one of the best. 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 throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. But a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to see a pal. It absolutely was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from items of different varieties of wood and composed like a mosaic, in one unit. I quickly was surprised, whenever possible, only using natural wood with no colors, make sport of color and texture to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the years and decades is always to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today your situation has evolved or wooden inlay isstill only available to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I do think that today the specific situation have not changed. True inlay available continues to be only the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified types of marquetry, but you 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.
- Everbody knows, the bradenton area received the greatest 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, in my opinion, is a result of deficiency of a unified style, a kind of layering, that was the hallmark with this kind of art in Russia. We had been able to absorb the very best of the setand create something of their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit can only deal with marquetry, this sort of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable of create masterpieces out of wood?
- To date, the true masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood - one, because this type of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of various type of trees, the sense of taste, style and skill to grab a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry could be called through the names of everyone that is considered an experienced in such cases. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.
- So far as today, popular products, produced in design for marquetry? All things considered, they're much more the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
