ABOUT AUTHOR
Jewellery Art for me is :Design, because it requires geometrically clear shapes, combinations of materials and compositionSculpture, for it plays with objects in space and directly depends on the shape of raw materialsGraphics, because it requires honed drawing skills and an ability to work with figurative and abstract imagesPainting, since it is impossible without a careful selection of color tones, masses, accents, and texturesTheatre, because it is associated with dress, addresses an audience and completes the embodied personaDance, as it becomes recognizable through movement, time and spaceA medium of thought, because it is capable of irony or meditation, and a medium of sensation, for it can’t exist without visual-tactile magic.And more – it is a medium of memory, in that the finest elements of the above are cast in the work as in a talismanWas born and studied art in Vladikavkaz, Russia
