Marianna Makarova - artist, graduated from the Textile Academy named after Kosygin in 2005, Faculty of Applied Arts, as well as from Art Lyceum in 2000 (Department "Artist of Miniature Painting"). Founder of the Russian school of Botanical botanical bas-relief.
Nature is perfect and only she herself can repeat this fleeting beauty, fading and blossoming again. A botanical bas-relief is a work done in tandem with nature, giving a unique opportunity to “freeze the moment”. This method is developed from the old traditions and techniques of the early botanists: using the surface of a natural object as a seal of nature. Even Leonardo da Vinci described a similar process in his CODICE ATLANTICO 1508, illustrated with the “seal of the wise leaf”.
