Oleg Pankov wood mosaic paintings
Born 16 March 1968 in Orekhovo-Zuevo of Moscow region, Oleg Pankov is a talented wood artist who works in the intarsia technique. He has created the whole gallery of beautiful wood paintings that leaves no one indifferent.
In fact, the art of making wood paintings has a long history. For the first time such wooden items appeared in ancient Egypt. Since the Nile Valley is not rich in forest, all the valuable wood was imported from afar. Therefore, wooden products were luxury items, craftsmen used wood with beautiful texture and unusual color for inlaying wooden products along with ivory, precious metals and stones.
Today, after almost a century of fascination with synthetic materials, the wood is again at the height of fashion. Breathable, warm, alive, wood products can become real luxury items, if you decorate them with intarsia. Like centuries ago, intarsia today is painstaking manual work with a figurative image created from plates of wood, different in texture, color, embedded in a wooden surface.

According to this technigue, the master takes individual wooden plates that make up the pattern and fits them tightly along the edges. Then, glues and puts into the array of the decorated object. Then, with the cutting tool handles pieces of wood to achieve the desired thickness. In addition, the master carefully smoothes and polishes the front side of the plates. Also, he leaves the bottom surface rough for better adhesion to the base, and solid wood serves as a background for mosaic decorations.
