1. What is the Fine Arts Boutique project? Our web­site is a project that con­nects our artists and their ex­cep­tion­al tal­ents to all the people in the world, people like ourselves, people that get fas­cin­ated by beau­ti­ful things. Our idea is to cre­ate a place, where things like view­ing art­works, ob­tain­ing rel­ev­ant in­form­a­tion, or pla­cing or­ders can be done com­fort­ably and eas­ily. We are plan­ning on grow­ing our artist com­mu­nity and turn­ing this web­site in­to a valu­able mul­ti­fa­ceted re­source.

2. What is DP Stu­dio On­line and and its con­nec­tion to this site? We have star­ted three years ago, in 2007, when we re­gistered our design stu­dio, Glow­ing Mind. Around the time, we have met Dmitriy Pavlov, who asked us to design his web­site to present a com­pre­hens­ive port­fo­lio of his works. We de­signed the DP Stu­dio On­line and be­came Dmitriy's on­line team of rep­res­ent­at­ives who handled all the com­mu­nic­a­tions and or­ders. Later, in 2008 we have real­ized the need to present more tal­en­ted artists on the Web and we star­ted draft­ing the Fine Arts Boutique project. The first ver­sion of the Fine Arts Boutique was launched in 2009, and now in 2010 we proudly present its new and im­proved look.

3. Who is in the Fine Arts Boutique team? Ever since we star­ted in 2007, we have worked as a small web­site team con­sist­ing of three people: Maria Kur­o­lapnik, An­dre Kuzmicheff, and An­drey Kosar­ev. Maria Kur­o­lapnik is the ex­ec­ut­ive, mar­ket­ing, and sales man­ager. She handles all the com­mu­nic­a­tions with cli­ents and artists, pro­cesses all the or­ders and pur­chases, and rep­res­ents our boutique in all the on­line and off­line events and places. An­dre Kuzmicheff is the web­site, fea­ture, and con­tent man­ager. He en­sures that the web­site is in good func­tion­al con­di­tion and present­able ap­pear­ance. An­dre also over­sees and plans fu­ture con­tent and fea­tures for our web­site. And An­drey Kosar­ev is the site sys­tem ad­min­is­trat­or re­spons­ible for the web­site func­tion­ing, avail­ab­il­ity, and se­cur­ity.

4. What kind of products and ser­vices do you of­fer? Fine Arts Boutique of­fers jew­elry, fine art, and weaponry en­grav­ing ser­vices, provided by our tal­en­ted artists, Dmitriy Pavlov and Dmitry Malak­hov. Our gal­lery shows their com­pre­hens­ive port­fo­li­os, and the web­site is de­signed to pro­mote and sell their art­work. We take or­ders for cus­tom craf­ted jew­elry pieces, mini­atures, hand­made knives, and fire­arm en­grav­ings. All our items are hand craf­ted to or­der and can be cus­tom­ized ac­cord­ing to your spe­cific­a­tions. We take or­ders for ex­ist­ing designs, but can also design something en­tirely new and one of a kind.

5. What can I find on this web­site? This web­site is de­signed as a vir­tu­al art gal­lery. We cre­ated a great view­er so you can com­fort­ably view each and all art­works. The main page of the web­site is sim­il­ar to a store dis­play and it fea­tures art­works avail­able for im­me­di­ate pur­chas­ing. The gal­lery sec­tion show­cases the com­pre­hens­ive port­fo­li­os of our artists' works, from which you can or­der items of your choice. The per­son­al pages of our artists provide in­form­a­tion about their pro­fes­sion­al jour­ney, their unique crafts­man­ship tech­niques, and their art­work cre­ation pro­cesses. Our new Lib­rary sec­tion fea­tures col­lec­tion of art­icles on vari­ous art and craft re­lated top­ics. The con­tact form or the Ask Ques­tion but­ton, loc­ated on each item's de­scrip­tion page, are the easi­est ways to get in touch with us. Feel free to con­tact us if you have any ques­tions about or­der place­ment and cus­tom­iz­a­tion, or any oth­er web­site and its func­tion­al­ity re­lated is­sues.

8. Do I need to have an ac­count on this web­site? We do not re­quire our cus­tom­ers to cre­ate user ac­counts. You do not need an ac­count in or­der to con­tact us, ask a ques­tion, or even place your or­der. A user ac­count will al­low you to mon­it­or the status of your or­der, re­view your es­tim­ates, and re­trieve your pre­vi­ous pur­chases and or­ders. A user ac­count can be cre­ated at any time; even if you choose to cre­ate it after or­der­ing from us, you will still have an ac­cess to all the in­form­a­tion re­gard­ing your pre­vi­ous or­ders and com­mu­nic­a­tion with our rep­res­ent­at­ives.

9. Which items are shown in the gal­lery? Gal­lery sec­tion of our web­site fea­tures the most com­pre­hens­ive port­fo­li­os of art­works de­signed and hand­craf­ted by out artist. You are wel­come to vis­it the sec­tion and or­der an art­work piece for you or your loved ones. Each gal­lery item is hand­craf­ted to or­der, and can be ordered as is or with ma­ter­i­als and design vari­ations of your choice.

11. Are all your products hand­craf­ted? All Fine Arts Boutique products are 100% hand­craf­ted. We do not sell cast pieces, or laser or ma­chine en­grav­ings. All jew­elry pieces craf­ted by Dmitriy Pavlov are hand pierced and en­graved from sol­id met­al bands. Dmitriy Pavlov is a pro­fes­sion­al gold­smith, who designs, crafts, en­graves, and sets gems in all his art­work. Dmitry Malak­hov's knives are made from scratch as well: Dmitry designs his knives, forges the steel and ham­mers the blades, crafts handles and guards, sews leath­er hol­sters, and makes knife stands and oth­er ac­cessor­ies.

12. Can your artists rep­lic­ate their work? The an­swer to this ques­tion usu­ally de­pends on the artist and the chosen item. Dmitriy Pavlov, for ex­ample, can re­pro­duce mostly all of his jew­elry pieces, while each Dmitry Malak­hov's knife is unique. Some works can be rep­lic­ated, some can be craf­ted sim­il­ar to the ori­gin­al, and some works are so unique, that they can­not be re­cre­ated, but in­stead we might be able to use their ini­tial design to craft new items. If you have a ques­tion about a spe­cif­ic item, just press the Ask Ques­tion but­ton and send us your re­quest.
