lay out, here the water will be lighter, here the water will be darker, then we went there, let’s say, the earth has gone, yes, we look at the stone of a different color, accordingly, and so we paint all this, number one, we put number one here so that the master can it’s easier to work, a mosaic blanket, a bear on a fishing trip, the artist paints the man, the stone also signs, 2 3 4 and so on, we take a part from whatman paper, cut it out, put it on the stone, trace it with a pencil, go to the cutting machine, go try on the element for the mosaic.

apply it, see if everything fits, this means we leave the next part to be cut out. i graduated from the college of applied arts in nizhny tagil and was assigned to kolyvan. i went for 2 years to study, but it turned out that i’ve been here for 40 years. alexander anatolyevich derbinev found different times at the plant. it was the hardest in the nineties, when they produced mainly ashtray souvenirs. then there were five of us left here, we only worked in this workshop, no orders, nothing, i got this impression then, we were driving to barnaul on a night in winter, starting from the chicken, nothing at all one living living soul these 500 km to barnaul, the country was extinct in general, it was generally scary, well, since 2000 somehow... 280 km

south of barnaul, the village of kurya, the birthplace of the famous designer mikhail kalashnikov, here is a church of the sign of the blessed virgin mary, built in 1904, the main decoration of the recently restored temple was the unique works of the kalyvan stone carvers. five mosaic icons, three life-size, one above the gate, of our znamenskaya church. that is, every person should know where he is going, he is going to znamensky temple, we can proudly say that there are simply no such utensils in russia, and i think there are none even in the world, we have the throne itself made of stone, the most important utensils of the church, the altar, the high place, everything is made of stone, very painstakingly, it’s labor-intensive, people, of course, put all their strength and soul,

the most important thing is love, they were faced with such a big unpleasant problem, that is , the boy pavlik was 3 years old, a tumor was discovered in the brain, yes, that is, at first it’s a shock for the parents, where run that to do, a cry from the heart, yes, well, they lasted 7 years, but he left, so it was destined to be so. after the tragedy, my wife came to work for the first day after such a break, well, it was impossible to work and i immediately received an order for three icons on the first day, i remember the priest came, she draws a sketch by hand, the face, each icon is drawn, she went deep into the work , and he says he came up, and he says, when you draw the eyes there, the face there, form it mentally, you say ask, ask, well, here she is... she then confessed to me what she asked for,

here’s god’s gift to you, two gorgeous twins, which i still confuse, it’s impossible to distinguish, i don’t know if there will be artists, no, but they hold the pencils tightly in their hands, the biggest thing i was worried about and thought about was just the design church, because we are not icon painters, well, if it’s done, it means god wants it, i won’t let it go.

traditions change, skill is not forgotten, and let it be so for many, many years, and may masters come to you, students will definitely come to you.
