 ');
document.write('Yury was born in the small town of Bogorodsk in 1965. His favorite toys were colored pencils and a sketchbook. The first exhibition of his drawings took place when he was in kindergarten. At his school, Yury amazed his teachers and friends with his wonderful drawings of animals and portraits. An art teacher recommended to his parents that they direct Yury to art school. At age 12, Yury saw Fedoskino miniatures for the first time. The paint on the boxes seemed to sparkle. Two boxes,\ "A Salute to Red Square\" and \"Troikas\", with horses dashing through a winter\'s landscape, amazed him. This experience produced an unforgettable impression, and he entered the Fedoskino School of Lacquer Miniature in 1980.
At the school, his master teachers were artists V. S. Kulgavov and V. N. Frolova. His degree work--\"Still Life\"--was exhibited with other outstanding works. From 1984 to 1987, Yury served in the Soviet Army. In 1987, he began work at the Fedoskino Factory, learning from famous artists and developing his exceptional skills in miniature work.
In 2003, Yury became a member of the Russian and International Union of Artists. Since then, he has participated in numerous exhibitions. His extraordinary works are located in private collection in Russia, the United States, and Germany. In his free time, Yury enjoys playing tennis and helping his son with his education.
My favorite creations for lacquer miniatures are unique monasteries, ancient cities, and wooden structures. These extraordinary examples of Russian architecture are set in extraordinary landscapes, shining with the soul and spirit of Old Russia. The silhouettes of the Golden Ring, the solemn and sparkling centers of Russia, and the noble northern landscapes have always fascinated me. By constantly studying and by creating images of Russia\’s architectural past, I have gained a deeper understanding and greater appreciation of both Russian and the master artisans of the past. I consistently attempt to connect to our once incredible, but often already destroyed, architectural monuments. Through my lacquer miniatures, I am able to create masterpieces from Russia\’s past.');

Near her house was an artist\'s studio, and Angela often visited the artist. Because she loved to watch the artist working, she began drawing colorful flowers, rainbows, and princes. She always drew tales with happy endings.
Her parents and teachers recognized her love of the miniature and decided to continue her education at the Fedoskino Art School in 1984. She studied with the faculty of Rostov\'s enameling. The technique of painting on enamels was difficult, and no mistakes in sketches or color were acceptable. Angela applied herself with dedication and graduated with the red diploma, the highest rank in her speciality.
After completing her study at the Fedoskino School, Angela worked for a number of years as an artist of enamels. However, later she learned new methods and skills in designing lacquer boxes and began work at the Fedoskino Factory of Lacquer Miniatures.
There, she easily learned the techniques of oil painting on the lacquer boxes. Her first technique of painting on enamel, gold leaf, and mother of pearl helped her create her own style of painting and designing boxes.
In 2003, Angela and her husband became members of the International Union of Artists. Her beautiful works are found in private collections in Russia and abroad.
Angela has said of her work, \"I like to paint very much. I just can\'t live without painting. I fervently hope that my works bring to people pleasant moments when they examine and touch my landscapes, trees, monasteries, and views of Moscow and St. Petersburg.\"');

 ');
document.write('Fedoskino artist, Alla Kozlova and A.Spirkin has started in 1998 a new enterprise, \"Novale\". This art union encompasses painters, designers, sculptors, and jewelers. The boxes that we are presenting represent the first and second products of this art union.
\"Novale\" utilizes the skills of artisans in the fields of silver work, papier-mache and lacquer painting to create unique works of art.
The process begins with an idea conceived by Alla Kozlova. On the basis of her artistic conception, she commissions a sculptor to carve a small statuette. From the statuette, a mold is created. The mold is used only once to cast a single figurine in silver. Once the figurine is cast, the mold is destroyed.
At the same time as the figurine is being prepared, a papier-mache artisan crafts a piece of papier-mache that is specifically designed and shaped to be used in conjunction with the figurine. The finished papier-mache piece is then lacquered and painted by Alla Kozlova.
The finished pieces of silver and lacquer are combined to create striking pieces of extraordinary originality.
\"Novale\" provides some of the most talented artists in Russia the opportunity to fully realize their creative ambitions.');
