Galina Saitova
Puppeteer
My name is Galina Saitova (Israel, Bat Yam), a member of the Professional Association of artists and masters of applied art Unity Art (direction - decorative and applied art), participant of festivals, exhibitions (both local and international)
I fell in love with art dolls. The ability to convey, with their help, mood, feelings, emotions. My first dolls were
are not intended for exhibitions. I worked as an occupational therapy instructor and the dolls helped me to establish contact with my patients. These were textile dolls, but I wanted to improve my skills and I started to study with the puppeteer masters, as well as in numerous online courses, I studied different techniques: felting, papier-mâché, baked plastic. This helped me to decide and choose for myself the direction in which I am now creating. The knowledge gained helps me in creating the image of a doll. I like to make dolls with portrait likeness, I try to convey character, mood. I see how people react to my work and it gives me inspiration to keep working in this direction.
Open to new knowledge, there is a huge number of ideas that are waiting for their embodiment.
