Jewelry artist Vladimir Skrotsky was born on May 28, 1980, in Anapa, into the family of a jeweler. From the age of six he studied at an art school, and at fifteen he began serious training in his father’s workshop, where he worked as a master craftsman until 2006. He has been engaged in jewelry design since the age of sixteen, focusing primarily on exclusive, one-of-a-kind projects. Over recent years his artistic work has been regularly published in Russian and European jewelry periodicals; he is also the author of several articles on jewelry design for Russian trade journals.
In 2009 Vladimir created his first paintings in the style of “jewelry painting,” thereby defining a new direction in the visual arts. Any subject, idea, or persona is rendered on canvas not only through the jeweler’s gaze, but also through the philosophy and expressive language of jewelry art as a whole. Among his earliest works were series of jewelry portraits of “precious women”; the portrait holds a special place within the artist’s creative universe. His collection of images and characters—“precious personas”—is expanded monthly. His works have been exhibited at the Central House of Artists (CDH) and at Winzavod. A large number of his paintings and portraits are held in private collections across Russia, Europe, the United States, and Japan.
As a designer, since 2007 he has collaborated in Moscow with major Russian manufacturers and government institutions—Smolensk Diamonds (ALROSA), Art-Modern, MEYUZ, Almaz-Holding, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, and others—creating designs for jewelry collections in the mid- and high-value segments, awards and insignia, as well as exclusive commissions, including projects valued at over 100 million US dollars. Jewelry made from his sketches is held in private collections of business leaders and show-business stars, including Roger Waters, as well as by senior state officials.
His signature projects have been highly praised by the leadership of renowned brands such as Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston, De Grisogono, Omega, Gucci, and others.
He is included in the list of Europe’s 99 best jewelry designers, and his graphic works were published in the French professional edition Kara Collector’s Edition 2010: Art Jewelry Designers.
From 2011 to 2018 he served as Head of the Design Bureau at the Nika watch factory, producing hundreds of projects—both exclusive and serial—of jeweled watches and accessories. In 2019 he became an instructor in jewelry making and jewelry design at the Karl Fabergé College in Moscow; graduates of his course won gold medals at WorldSkills Russia. From 2020 to the present day, he continues to create jewelry designs and paintings in Moscow.
