- Please reveal a bit with regards to you and the way you obtain entered a rare art form - marquetry.
- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children is certainly creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of the masters available one of the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for several types of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. But a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to check out an associate. It had been a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different types of wood and composed as being a mosaic, in one unit. I then was surprised, wherever possible, using only natural wood devoid of the colors, make the bet on color and texture to select ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the a few years decades would be to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the situation has evolved or wooden inlay isstill purely available for the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do believe that today your situation has not changed. True inlay available remains exactly the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified forms of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There isn't any doubt that theproduct place on stream, will not be the masterpieces of the highest level.
- You know, this 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 associated with the development of this art in various Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is caused by the lack of a unified style, a sort of layering, which was the hallmark of this form of art in Russia. We had been able to take in good the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit could only cope with marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. The number of artists today,capable of create masterpieces away from wood?
- To date, the actual masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood - one, as this type of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of the many varieties of trees, the sense of taste, style and talent to post a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare keen on marquetry could be called through the names of everybody that's considered a specialist in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- In terms of today, popular products, manufactured in the style of marquetry? All things considered, they may be more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
