- Please show a little about yourself and the way you will get were only available in a rare form of art - marquetry.
- I used to be born in Sokol, Vologda region, my family is definitely creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of many masters in the industry among the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for various kinds of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to go to a buddy. It absolutely was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from pieces of different types of wood and composed like a mosaic, in one unit. However was surprised, whenever you can, using only natural wood devoid of the colors, make the bet on texture and color to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone would be the years and decades is to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the specific situation has changed or wooden inlay isstill only available on the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I think that today your situation has not yet changed. True inlay available remains to be merely the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct wear stream, will not be the masterpieces with the highest level.
- As you know, the bradenton area received the highest 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 progression of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is caused by having less a unified style, a sort of layering, which was the hallmark of the sort of art in Russia. We had been in a position to take in the very best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to take care of marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,able to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Up to now, the masters, able to create masterpieces of wood Body, simply because this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the different species of trees, the experience of taste, style and talent to grab a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry may be called with the names of everybody who's considered an expert in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.
- As far as today, popular products, produced in the appearance of marquetry? All things considered, these are more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
