MARQUETRY or wood decorative artistry is considered to be one of the most difficult arts. Besides skill and talent, it requires patience, engagement, and unprecedented precision from a the artist. A beautiful item of marquetry is the fruit of a long and detailed process of picking, cutting, placing, and gluing which takes a long time. In a traditional technique, different design elements are cut separately in an attempt to reduce a gap left by a knife’s blade. As a result, perfectly fit together pieces show no visible signs of insertions and blending together, they create one solid surface.
The motifs include elements of landscape, animals, flowers, people and geometrical details. A real artist is able to combine factors such as grain, color and texture of materials to render desired aesthetic results as it would be using a palette to paint paintings.
