ABOUT THE ARTIST:Delicate colouring and intelligent style distinguish the matryoshkas by Albina Zolotovskaia. A lyrical note can be felt in the clear compositions and combinations of gentle colours. Albina Zolotovskaya started her career as a fashion designer. Than she had taken a great interest an ornamental art and dresses of historical character. Now an old Russian art is applied by Albina Zolotovskaya to decorate various costume details. Besides that Albina Zolotovskaya decorates wooden dolls with floral ornaments. The first Russian nesting doll was created in Sergiev-Posad near Moscow in 1890 at the Abramtsevo estate owned by Sava Mamontov, an industrialist and patron of the arts. Now, there are a number of villages that are known for their traditional designs. Most Russian nesting dolls are carved from birch wood, although some are made of lime tree or similar. The smallest doll is carved first. When each Matryoshka has been carved out, it is covered with glue to prepare the surface, polished to create a smooth surface, and then painted.Russian nesting dolls depict scenes from Russian fairy tales, churches and architecture of Russian cites and towns, and life scenes of the Russian people and arts. This art is much like the work of the Masters of the Canvas, but here the artist tells a story by nesting chapters of their story in paintings on wood.
