Alexey Vorobevskii
/1906-1992/

Alexey Vorobyevsky, born at Tankhoy station in the Trans-Baikal region, had an early passion for painting, showcasing his talent fr om a very young age. He graduated from the art school in Pavlovsk near Leningrad in 1926 and later joined the Leningrad Porcelain Factory, wh ere he honed his skills and gained recognition.

His artistic style was marked by fantastical and fairy-tale motifs, often drawing inspiration from folk art. Vorobyevsky's porcelain works featured schematically depicted figures, otherworldly flowers, and crystal bridges. He claimed that these magical stories came to him in dreams, which he then translated onto porcelain without preliminary sketches. His elegant brushstrokes resembled the technique of Persian miniature painting.

Throughout his career at the Leningrad Porcelain Factory, Vorobyevsky created both decorative murals and works with propaganda themes for special occasions. His famous pieces include the "10 years of October" tea set, the "Jubilee" and "Russian folk patterns" vases, the "City and Village" coffee set, and the "Ruslan and Lyudmila" and "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" sets.

Vorobyevsky's contributions to the art of porcelain earned him recognition, including the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in 1969 and the State Prize named after Ilya Repin in 1970, which celebrated his highly artistic and imaginative creations of porcelain products.
