Zlata is an artist. She creates unique items of decor. For materials, the designer uses wood that remains after the demolition of old houses. She makes utensils that you could find in Russian huts in the old days: krynka (a clay jug), kubyshka (an ancient piggy bank), krupnik (a pitcher-jug), chugunok (a cooking pot). Objects that you'd never find in a modern household, but only preserved in the villages or kept "as a memento". She also makes cute jewelry boxes. Zlata draws inspiration from traveling, new emotions, the colors, the perfect combination of nature and architecture.
One of Zlata's major works is the "Invisible Threads" series. Since antiquity, embroidery and weaving patterns have absorbed a myriad of symbols - you could not only look at them, but also read. Each symbol bore a certain meaning, serving as a talisman and a reminder of the invisible threads that connect each person to nature and its heritage. The artist decided to transfer these patterns to woodwork and reinterpret them.
