Sergei Koblv was born and grew up near Oekhovo-Zuyevo,a half hour's drive east of Moscow.He graduated from the prestigious Bauman Higher Technical School in Moscow as an electrical engineer.Unable to find work after graduationSergei remembered how his father had taught him to carve,so he returned home to try to make a living using his childhood hobby.He bagan to carve and paint a series of designs.
Sergei's matryoshki are some of the most original in Russia.There are few other artists who carve matryoshki,but most of them carve only superfcially,adding lines to beards or facces.Sergei carves the actual figures into the wood,thereby creating a completely differet effect.
