Russian doll master Natalia Lopusova-Tomskaya
Her art is a mystery and you need to wait for months to buy her doll. According to sources, she regularly conducts master classes, and her book is partially available on the Internet. She is a sorceress with papier mache with impeccable taste. Her dolls are elegant and recognizable. And in one single image she can create a Tale.
Natalia Lopusova-Tomskaya combines various materials, laces and beads. It gives the impression of a rich, exquisite costume that emphasizes the subtlety of the proportions of the body itself. The gamma of fabrics is usually almost monochrome or based on a combination of similar colors, creating a feeling of overflows, playing shades.
The characters of Lopusova-Tomskaya are fantasy creatures from other worlds, all sorts of elves, circus people, and sometimes – associative images. In their “communication” with the viewer these dolls are very delicate and benevolent, do not rush to “tell” about themselves, but are ready to “listen” to the interlocutor …. Just be extremely careful – you can not but get under the influence of her dolls!

Master of doll art, a member of the Moscow Union of Artists, Natalia Lopusova-Tomskaya makes dolls from childhood. Aged 15, she went to work in the studio of the Central Puppet Theater of Sergey Obraztsov. Later, the artist graduated from the Textile Institute of Kosygin, Faculty of Applied Arts. Working in the theater, Natalia made moving dolls of papier-mache. In this complex and scrupulous technique, the master works even now. Fascinated by the Art Nouveau style, she draws creative ideas and stylistic features from it.
