Vlasov is working

Both artist consider their work complete after all of the gold work has been applied. They both love the look of a cold-blue color palette. In their opinion, it is very practical, since the color hardly ever changes,when the top coat of lacquer is applied, even if it has some yellow in it. So, the artwork always looks fresh with this color palette. They also love real-life natural colors. When creating a piece, the composition is base upon the contrast of a the lighter background, which is applied first, and the darker figures in the foreground. They have created their own style of metallic gold work.

In their spare time, the artists visit their friends. Vlosov loves to play computer games. He would like to some day design the characters, or scenery, for just such games. The artist wishes prosperity, happiness and good health for their collectors.
