Dmitrii Volkov

Award-winning Russian-born metal artist Dmitrii Volkov is a graduate of the prestigious St. Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design, which specializes in contemporary and traditional decorative and applied arts. His professional achievements began early, starting while he was a student and received First Place in the Young Jewelers Competition in St. Petersburg on the 150th anniversary of the birth of Carl Fabergé. After graduating Volkov was selected as a metal artisan in the UNESCO heritage restoration of The Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo, St. Petersburg, Russia.

​

While training in all aspects of interior and exterior design, Volkov found himself particularly drawn to working with metals, which has evolved into a preference for working with “carbon steel”. Also known as low carbon steel, it is more malleable and softer than other steels, and has a rich texture that Volkov says stainless steel doesn’t have after forging. Volkov is also fully proficient working in bronze, silver and copper, sometimes combining metal with wood and/or glass. In his work, he focuses on combinations of volumes, patterns and colors – which can interact, agree or disagree with each other.
