Salavat fidai biography in hindi

I started making art after I lost my job the company reduced me because of the crisis in Russia. I was a manager of big company of Ufa, Russia, when I was laid off last year.

Rather than find another office job, I devoted myself full-time to art, now I am able to help provide for my family by selling my art works. So I decided to dedicate myself to art and realize my potential. I think now is the moment when I have something to tell other people and know how to do it. Now making sculptures is my main occupation, my way of earning a living.

My parents are professional artists and art-school teachers — they taught me everything I know and handed me the baton. I used to paint a lot during my school years. I made my first micro sculptures at school, carving them from chalk. Many people are already familiar with my work and have added my miniatures and sculptures to their collections.

Our people love art but there is a big crisis in Russia and is not a prime necessity for them. Under the glow of a single work light while my family sleeps, I used a craft knife and 8x magnifying glass to create tiny sculptures out of pointy pencil lead. It takes six to hours of work for an average statue. Complicated models take two to three days.

I spend more than 10 hours a day in my home studio, creating miniature sculptures or paintings I like to experiment in different areas of art: photography, painting, drawing, and sculptures.
