Stone flower master Viktor Vasiliev
Based in Nizhny Tagil, his workshop was long located on the territory of the old sullen Demidov factory. Like all stone-cutters, he deals with the unkind elements – stone, metal, water, fire. And in these circumstances can draw from the stone body amazingly gentle nature, even more touching, than the inverse images – flowers, berries and grass.
Stylizations of Vasiliev are recognizable and inimitable, the master’s hand for a long time has been known to the specialists and connoisseurs of the art of stone carving. In honor of the 60th anniversary of the master, the Nizhny Tagil Museum of Art organized a personal exhibition of works in various genres. Vasiliev’s art includes floral motifs, animals, and scene compositions. In addition to jewelry art pieces, the museum exhibits rare minerals from the author’s collection, a geologist by training.
