is a skill that takes time to learn,
and getting the model to pose and remain,
still to take a photograph in a way that a potential publisher,
or agent will like is extremely difficult,
but not for these models,
you just put then where you want them,
and they stay that way exactly,
as they are all dolls!
Anastasiya and Sergey Lutsenko are both professional
artists, graduates of the Krasnodar Art College and the Kuban State University
of Culture and Arts, however, they never trained in doll maker, that just sort
of happened. During her last year at university, Anastasiya had started
experimenting with jewelry made from polymer clay and decided to use the
material to create a doll for one of her teachers, as a birthday gift. It took
her two weeks, during which she struggled with many problems, but the process
also intrigued her, the couple of talented artists from the Russian City of
Krasnoyarsk, are famous among doll collectors all around the globe as two of
the world’s most meticulous doll makers. They can spend several months on a
single piece, but it is this attention to details that makes the final product
so impressive, the Lutsenkos’ dolls sell for tens of thousands of rubles, but
the price tag has never scared away enthusiasts, with collectors in Russia as
well as in countries like Germany and the UK willing to pay a premium for
these incredible masterpieces, all photographs © Anastasiya and
Sergey Lutsenko, what amazing dolls that I bet very few children ever get
to play with!
