#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. In celebration of International Women’s Day, a personal exhibition of decorative art by Svetlana Dubovskaya, a master from the Galax studio, will open at the Talnah branch of the Norilsk Museum. This marks the fourth personal exhibition for artists from the Norilsk studio.
Svetlana Dubovskaya is a teacher by profession, but she has had a passion for crafting with her hands since childhood. She spent evenings knitting with her mother and sewing outfits.
As an adult, Svetlana began to explore various forms of decorative and applied arts on her own, and for nearly twenty-five years, she has been a member of the folk amateur studio Creative Workshop of Decorative and Applied Arts Galax at the City Culture Center. The exhibition will feature works created in the studio over the years and in a variety of techniques.
“The main goal of a craftswoman is to beautify the world around us. Everything created by hand carries a unique beauty, and it allows the creator to feel a sense of accomplishment”, says Svetlana.
Svetlana is skilled in pottery, hand modeling with cold porcelain, and creating flowers that never wilt. She also makes interior dolls, paints with oils, acrylics, and gouache, and works with decoupage techniques. The exhibition will include unique pieces made with hot glue, as well as one-of-a-kind items crafted from natural materials.
“Every project in the studio sparks imagination and fosters creative thinking. Focusing on creating something new helps reduce stress and tension. The creative process of crafting stimulates the production of endorphins, the natural hormones of happiness, enhancing our mood”, Svetlana explains.
You can experience a boost of positivity and soak in the good energy from lovingly crafted items starting March 6. The exhibition will open at the Talnah branch of the Norilsk Museum.
Earlier, This Is Taimyr reported that the Galax club was recognized as a laureate in the World of Siberia festival-competition.
