- Please reveal a little about you and how you will get entered a rare form of art - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has long been creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered among the masters in the business the most effective. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My adoration for a variety of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it turned out interesting. But a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to go to a pal. It absolutely was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from pieces of different kinds of wood and composed being a mosaic, in a unit. Then I was surprised, whenever possible, only using natural wood devoid of the colors, result in the game of color and texture to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been 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 changed or wooden inlay isstill only accessible towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I think that today the situation has not yet changed. True inlay available continues to be just the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified forms of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct wear stream, will never be the masterpieces from the highest level.

- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the progression of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is a result of the lack of a unified style, some sort of layering, that has been the hallmark of the form of art in Russia. I was capable to take in good the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to deal with marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable to create masterpieces away from wood?
- Up to now, the real masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood Body, as this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with various species of trees, a feeling of taste, style and skill to pick up a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry can be called from the names of everyone that is considered a professional in such cases. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.
- As much as today, popular products, manufactured in design for marquetry? After all, they're similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
