Mikhail Smaglyuk. Jeweller and Restorer
Amazing artist Mikhail Smaglyuk always tries himself in new crafts. He mastered a lot of jewelery techniques and contrived a machine for one of them. Among works by Mikhail Ivanovich there are memorial eggs dedicated to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Catherine the Second. Creating his works of arts Mikhail is devoted to Krasnodar State Archaeological Museum Reserve named after E.D. Felitsin, where he has been working as a restorer for 30 years. And in this field the artist has his own invention – special thermo mass. With the help of this mass one can restore figures of different forms, texture and colour. Several years ago Mikhail took up violin art and wants to create the whole quartet of his own instruments. He believes that it's necessary sometimes to change one's activity! Just to get new emotions.
