Igor Romanko
Artist
Minsk / Belarus
Igor Romanko is 56 years old, and he lives and works in Minsk, Belarus.

His first education was as a coach and educator, but his true passion is wood. Igor mastered the craft of wood carving on his own, without mentors or formal schooling. Everything he knows has been given to him by personal experience, intuition, and a sincere love for this material.

Today, Igor is a wood sculptor and a member of the Union of Masters of Folk Art of Belarus.

The artist's creativity
Explore the work of this talented artist.
His approach is simple: to create for the soul and with soul. For him, this is the only true path. Igor believes that wood is a living, warm material. It responds to attitude. When a craftsman puts his soul into it, the wood will surely "respond"—with its texture, the depth of its color, that unique pattern that suddenly reveals itself in the finished piece.

He does not see the lack of a "specialized" diploma as a disadvantage. On the contrary, it provides freedom. Igor recalls that great carpenters and cabinetmakers often began with an intuitive search, with the question: "What would happen if I did it this way?" He is confident that the main teacher when working with wood is the wood itself and your own hands.

The master is interested in different types of wood. He loves the pine that smells of resin, the noble oak, and the capricious but beautiful walnut. He is equally fascinated by monumental works (furniture) and chamber pieces (tableware, decor). The main thing for Igor is that the work brings joy.

In his craft, he values not the "certificates," but that very spark in the eyes when you see the finished result. It is for that moment that he wants to create again and again.

Igor is always open to sharing experience and actively interacting with masters from other countries. This allows him not only to adopt the best international practices but also to make his own contribution to the development of the common cause.
Our task is to unite talented art lovers from all over the world.
