Masha Volkova

View artwork by Masha Volkova

Our youngest artist represented by the From Russia With Art Gallery is Masha Volkova, who makes original metal sculptures. The artist works with steel and oxy acetylene welding processes to create unique pieces with great attention to from, detail and texture. There is a certain kind of magic in the balance between light and dark, the positive and the negative, airiness and solidity of form. Each sculpture is one of a kind. To prevent any rust or corrosion, each piee is finished with a protective layer of wax and is easily dusted clean by using a wide soft bristle brush. Masha Volkova currently lives and works in New Your City and makes regular trips to Russia to work on metal sculptures. Her works are in the collection of the Moscow Bulgakov Museum, in Russia, The Art Students League Permanent Collection, in New York, as well as private collections in America and Russia.
