Ramilya Fazleeva
Wading Across
#8
Artist Ramilya Fazleeva lives and works in her hometown of Yanaul in the north of Bashkiria. After graduating from school, she left for Kungur, entered the Kungur Art and Technical School, the department of stone carving. Then she worked at the ‘Uralskiy Kamnerez’ Combine in the village of Krasny Yasyl, Perm Region. Later Ramilya Nakibovna graduated from the Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute with a degree in architecture of residential and public buildings and worked in Perm at the Permagropromproekt design institute.
 
All this time she worked with soft ornamental stones: soapstone, calcite, selenite and others. Knowing well their properties, the master used processing methods that allowed preserving the texture of the material, its color and shape.
 
In addition to simple decorative figurines Ramilya Fazleeva creates thematic works dedicated to the continuity of generations, life trials and closeness to nature.

The ‘Gamayun’ Museum Center displays a composition ‘Wading Across’, which features a man and a bull together overcoming a water obstacle.
 
The artist made a figurine from calcite, a widespread and inexpensive soft ornamental stone. It consists of calcium carbonate mixed with chalk, marble and limestone. In nature, calcite is found in the form of crystals of various colors and shades.
 
The interaction of a man and a bull is often rendered in classical art as a confrontation. For example, in the ancient myth, Theseus fights with the Minotaur and defeats it, and in the Old Testament story about the Golden Calf, the people force Aaron, the brother of the prophet Moses, to replace the God of Israel with an idol.
 
In the work of Ramilya Fazleeva, the characters become one, joining in the fight against the water. The shepherd lies on the bull’s back, clasping its neck with his hands, and together they wade across the river. The man completely relies on the strength and instincts of the animal whose body is only half visible.
 
Barely noticeable water washes over the bull’s chest. This creates the effect of movement and the feeling that the animal is moving forward slowly and with difficulty. The artist only roughly outlined the rider’s body — this emphasizes the unity of man and animal.
