Acrylic on textured canvas. / The dolls are raised up from the canvas in reality by using tissue paper on to the canvas. / They are delightful playthings for children. / Years ago when I first started working in London I bought a set of nested Matryoshka dolls from the Russian Shop in Holborn. I loved the way they nested into each other. Many years later I still have them but sadly they are badly faded. I wanted to recreate them in bright colours. / In old Russian among peasants the name Matryona or Matriosha was a very popular female name. The name has a Latin root “mater” and means “Mother”. This name was associated with the image of of a mother of a big peasant family who was very healthy and had a round, portly figure.

Marker and watercolour pencil on 220gsm paper The first Russian nesting doll (matryoshka) was born in 1890 in the workshop “Children’s Education” situated in Abramtsevo estate new Moscow. The owner of Abramtsevo was Sava Mamontov – industrialist and a patron of the arts. Matryoshkas, or nested dolls, are classic Russian sets of dolls with decreasing sizes, placed one inside the other. They are used metaphorically to explain concepts with many layers of truth. featured in Finks of Inks group – September 2009

Matryoshka / The connotation of this embroidery pattern on the doll symbolizes fertility and motherhood.

I made those dolls many years ago and used them in many artworks. I even made a video of them singing. I have always loved matryoshka dolls, and I think they’re definitely better than Barbies.

Samurai Matryoshka A short history of Matryoshka Dolls… Matryoshkas date from 1890, and are said to have been inspired by souvenir dolls from Japan. The concept of nested objects was familiar in Russia at that time, having been applied to carved wooden apples and Easter eggs. / The first Russian nested doll set was carved by Vasiliy Zvezdochkin from a design by Sergei Maliutin, who was a folk crafts painter in the Abramtsevo estate of the Russian industrialist and patron of arts Savva Mamontov. The doll set was painted by Maliutin himself. Maliutin’s design was inspired by a set of Japanese wooden dolls representing Shichi-fuku-jin, the Seven Gods of Fortune. Maluitin’s doll set consisted of eight dolls—the outermost was a girl holding a rooster, six inner dolls were girls, the fifth doll was a boy, and the innermost was a baby. / In 1900, Savva Mamontov’s wife presented the dolls at the World Exhibition in Paris, and the toy earned a bronze medal. Soon after, matryoshki dolls were being made in several places in Russia.
