Matryoshka dolls by Mariya Voronina
Sergiev Posad
I create my new cosmos
Hello! I am Mariya Voronina, the author of unique dolls.
I was born into a family of artists. In the city of Sergiev Posad, Moscow region.
Sergiev Posad has been the center of toy manufacturing since ancient times.
It will move me forward.
Create your new cosmos and let the journey through space and time from one universe to another become possible for you! Be bold and confident in creativity and love!
My most important source of inspiration is my children. I watch them grow up, how they sincerely and admiringly perceive the world, how sincere and pure their love is.
Another inexhaustible source of inspiration for me is nature. I like to walk in the forest, admire the beauty of the trees, the lighting, listen to the singing of birds and relax from the hustle and bustle of the city. This summer I moved to live by the sea and I am very happy about it. The sea also inspires and soothes me.
I was born into a family of artists and began to draw at the age of 2, since then this is my main occupation. When I was little, I looked at my mom's work (she also drew matryoshka dolls) with admiration and dreamed of drawing as beautifully as she did. I drew the first matryoshka doll at the age of 12, it was bought by one of my mother's buyers. My first nesting dolls were sincere and completely naive.
Since childhood, I loved to visit art museums and visited artists of our city (Sergiev Posad) with an art studio teacher (I went there from 8 to 17 years old) or with Mom.
The city of my birth (Sergiev Posad) is the birthplace of the first Russian nesting doll (the famous "Girl with a Rooster" Malutin). It was made in the 1890s. It can still be seen in our "Toy Museum", where it is kept. Since the 19th century, our city has been a center of toy crafts. We produced wooden toys, boxes with wood burning and of course the first matryoshka dolls. I am a collector of these wooden boxes and antique dolls.
These wonderful, unique works of art, darkened by time, are also an inexhaustible source of creativity for me. I continue the traditional technique of burning wood in our city. I admire the restrained color palette and the precise line of the old masters.
I also graduated in 2010 from the University in Moscow with a degree in stylist and fashion designer. There we not only learned how to create clothes, but also studied the history of costume, Russian, European and others. Folk costume is also a source of inspiration for me. I have a large collection of costume books at home, I keep coming back to them. I also really like old fabric ornaments, I often use their motifs in my work.
I have a lot of boards on Pinterest, where I collect and store material for work. There I have a board with old children's photos, paintings with children and illustrations from different times, vintage postcards. Looking at these paintings and photos, I get plots for my works, sometimes I try to repeat the cute face from the photo.
I try to go outside several times a week and make sketches of people resting on a bench in the shade of trees, near the sea, at bus stops, just random passers-by. I need to make my drawing very quickly, try to catch movement, posture, character. It also inspires me a lot and helps me to better draw the figure of a person on a matryoshka doll.

Matryoshka dolls by Natalia Voronina
Матрёшка в жизни Натальи Ворониной присутствовала всегда. Мама работала на фабрике игрушек и культтоваров. Потом Наталья училась в колледже игрушки, а потом выжигала и расписывала матрёшки и шкатулки по образцам, что давали в мастерской, где она, молодой художник, работала. Но наступила перестройка, мастера вышли торговать на площадь.
Я подумала, что не стану одно и то же делать. Мне надоело делать шкатулки мешками. Буду делать что-то эксклюзивное. Пусть будет не просто матрёшка, на ней можно изобразить сюжет, – Наталья Воронина
Свои сюжеты Наталья Воронина подсматривает везде: то летний дождик навеет мотив, то картинка из сада друзей подарит идею.
Какая красота! Почему это вижу только я, а люди не видят? Пусть они хоть на матрёшке увидят и прочувствуют это. Опыта уже довольно много, но книги – моё второе я. Так, например, книга «Орнаменты всех времён и стилей» – просто кладезь. Я её как открываю, утопаю в ней, – Наталья Воронина
Мечта Натальи Ворониной – собрать домашний музей матрёшки. Какие-то экспонаты уже собраны за десятилетия, а какие-то приходится воссоздавать.
Вот матрёшка 70-х годов художника Александра Васильевича Власова. Именно он придумал деревянного богатыря. На ней такие узоры! И это сделал мужчина! Насколько же богатая была у человека фантазия, – Наталья Воронина
Мастерством воплотить фантазию в материале владеет и Наталья Воронина. Её работы можно рассматривать и наблюдать, как на основе традиций сергиевопосадского промысла развивается авторская матрёшка Натальи Ворониной.
