“Do you believe in fairy tales? Since childhood, I dreamed a lot, fantasized, came up with heroes and stories. And then I grew up ... And fairy tales disappeared from my life, it seemed, forever. MPEI diploma with honors, work as a designer, family. Time passed, I had a daughter, and with her I again plunged into the world of fairy tales and dolls.
⠀
Once on the Internet, I found an amazing store where designer dolls were sold. It was a real delight! Just imagine what a miracle it is: you can independently realize any image, any fantasy, create a unique doll world with your own hands!
⠀
For me, an author's doll is not just an element of decor, a figurine, it is the artist's message to his viewer. The doll tells a story, but each viewer will have their own, unique story. An art doll excites the imagination, evokes emotions and feelings, and they can be very different, from joy to sadness, from tenderness to fear. And this is so wonderful, because everyone can find among the great variety of works those that will resonate in his soul.
⠀
I have been making dolls for 6 years. I think that I cannot imagine my life without what I love, without wonderful puppeteer friends, without this tremendous feeling of freedom, when it covers with a wave of inspiration, and you feel how wings grow behind your back. And you fly. You are flying towards new fairy tales ... "
