Modern Matryoshka Design
All of us might be more or less acquainted with the Russian Matryoshka, initially the toy invented at the end of the 19th century for the children and presently one of the popular traditional Russian souvenirs. First Matryoshkas were featuring Russian girls in their folk dresses ( there were no dolls in Russia at that time) and later on the painters started drawing holidays and different events.В In the world of high technology there are still craftsmen that follow the tradition of Matryoshka design and painting but there are also new creators with the new approach.
The images that you see above were taken from “Matryoshka by designers” contest that was held in Milan back in 2007.В That was a wonderful event and all the Matryoshkas were sold at a high pricing to collectors.
