Dmitry Dorokhin

 

Born in Volgograd (south of Russia), Dorokhin loved to draw and wanted to become an artist from an early age. He was mesmerized by the paintings of the Old Masters whose works he saw in art magazines. He began his art education in St. Petersburg, Russia at the Stiglitz Academy of art and industrial design. After graduation, he began work in multiple media: enamel on metal, glass, ceramic, watercolor, oil and acrylics. His heart remained with glass casting and watercolor.

Internationally recognized for his glass sculpture, most of his works are in private collections in Europe and Russia. His method is to place glass into a mold and let it take the shape inside. The mold is then placed in a kiln heated to 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. Slow annealing is next and then cold working the glass – grinding and polishing.
