Laquer miniature Fedoskino

Kirsanov Sergey was born in 1961 in Moscow.
In 1976-1981 he studied in Fedoskino laquer
miniature school. After graduating he worked 
as a designer.

Perestroyka and the changing situation in the country made it possible for him to devote himself entirely to his favourite work-miniature painting. The main subject of his work is Russian landscape.

 Since 1995 he has taken part in many great exhibitions devoted to the 50-th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War,  50-th anniversary of the Moscow Region Artists   Union, 200-th anniversary of Fedoskino  laquer miniature painting.

L'école de Fédoskino est la première et la plus ancienne école de la miniature laquée russe, elle existe depuis plus de 200 ans.Connue dans le monde entier par ses « tableaux » à l'huile, dont la plus grande taille a dépassé rarement une feuille de papier, cette manufacture connaît actuellement d'énormes difficultés suite aux nombreuses boîtes contrefaites proposées à des prix dérisoire.

Using traditional methods of  Fedoskino miniature painting  the artist doesn’t seek preten-tious embellishment of the picture. His main aim is to reflect the mood, the depth of the sky, the freshness of the air , joy or melancholy, triumph or grief.
