Nikolai
S. Syadristy
A personality of varied interests and extremely gifted creative abilities, was born in 1937 and was educated as an agronomist. He has also undergone training at the Art College of Ukraine and has become a master in underwater sports. The art of "microminiatures" has been his hobby for more than thirty years. His achievement in such a rare kind of art resulted in the award of the Honorary Master of Ukrainian Folk Art. The works of this merited crafts- man are permanently featured in two personal exhibitions, one at the Moscow Polytechnical Museum and the second at the Kiev-Pechersk State Historico-Cultural Museum. Exhibitions by Nikolai S. Syadristy were a great success in Montreal, Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, Prague, Sofia, Budapest, Warsaw, Dresden and many other cities around the world. "Microminiatures," writes Nikolai S. Syadristy in his book Mysteries of Microtechnology, "to a great extent reflect the attained level of treatment for various materials and, consequently, the degree of comprehension of their properties; they vividly narrate on the culture of human labour, thus, they actually dwell on the culture of human thinking."
