Evgeniy Salinder: Sirtya

Evgeniy Salinder, "Sirtya 4"

Last year the Inuit Gallery of Vancouver introduced indigenous Nenets artist, Evgenyi Salinder’s charming Sirtya figures to the delight of our clients.  We have a wonderful new collection of Sirtya, carved from reindeer antler.

The Sirtya, a mythical race who lived in the tundra before the current Nenets people, loom large in Nenets folklore.  They are thought to have been small people who dressed in white, had light-blue eyes, and who lived underground, accessed through tall, sandy hills.  Among the figures in this new collection, Evgenyi Salinder has created antlered shamans, figures guarding their mammoth herds, female figures, mythical "earthy" mammoths, dashing reindeer, and many others.

All works are available immediately.  Please email gallery@inuit.com to purchase the art works. Like many of you, we are working from home so will respond to your request on a first emailed, first served basis.  We welcome the opportunity to discuss these works with you on the phone, so if you would like us to give you a call, please email your name and telephone number and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We hope these art works bring some delightful distractions.
