Dmitriy Pavlov

Dmitriy Pavlov is a gold­smith and de­sign­er, who has per­fec­ted his own unique ap­proach of hand pier­cing and en­grav­ing in the last 30 years. Ori­gin­ally from St. Peters­burg, Rus­sia, Dmitriy Pavlov cur­rently lives and works in De Forest, Wis­con­sin. His suc­cess­ful ex­hib­i­tions in Fin­land and Rus­sia, in­clud­ing the Her­mit­age Mu­seum in St. Peters­burg, have earned him in­ter­na­tion­al re­cog­ni­tion and many awards.

Pro­fes­sion­al Jour­ney

Dmitriy's pro­fes­sion­al jour­ney began in 1981 at the Russki­ye Sam­ots­vety (Rus­si­an Gems) Cor­por­a­tion, where he ad­vanced from en­graver to lead en­grav­ing artist and de­sign­er. In 1999, Dmitriy and his wife, Galina, im­mig­rated to the United States, and, in 2002, he star­ted the DP Stu­dio. In ad­di­tion to cre­at­ing his in­di­vidu­al art, Dmitriy Pavlov also teaches as an As­so­ciate Mas­ter at The Howard Academy for the Met­al Arts in Stoughton, WI.
