Alla Kosarevskaya

Inventing an entirely unique form of artwork, Alla Kosarevskaya, adeptly melds the worlds of high art with exquisite craftsmanship in every breathtaking piece. At first glance, Kosarevskaya’s works appear as graphic, monochromatic paintings. But, upon further inspection, each reveals its true complexity and astounding construction. Rather than paintings, drawings or digital images, her works are in fact marquetry veneers, composed entirely of wood and precious metals. Each work is completely handmade; Kosarevskaya carefully cuts every natural piece of wood to precisely fit with the other fragments, then joins them together harmoniously to give life to works of intoxicating warmth and beauty. Although Kosarevskaya’s works borrow their method from the traditional craft of marquetry, her panels are unique in their status as fine art. Unparalleled in the art world, Kosarevskaya is clearly in a class of her own.

Born and educated in Russia, Alla Kosarevskaya now lives and works in Miami and New York.
