Vladimir Boyko was born in the village. Krasny Yar, Primorsky Krai. All his childhood he spent in the forest, where he met with Udege. At the mine "Far" in the area, Kavalerovskom lived for about 20 years and worked in the mines of Chukotka, a diligent Artel looking for gold, and tin.
In the 30 years he wanted to cut the wood face Dersu Uzala And picking up a lime church, a tool was cut and I realized: it turns out! Vladimir Boiko only works with natural materials (lime, aspen, and occasionally Tim, deer fur, leather, horsehair!).
Most Vladimir likes to make "portraits" of the elderly Udege, although among his works is Slavic, Mongolian, and African face. All of them are drawn from real prototypes. Grandma Ouzou - one of them. On every face - an imprint of life as a unique pattern on a cut tree.
