and the Sretensky Monastery publishing house. Now he works closely with the publishing house "Nastya and Nikita", where he has illustrated six books.
Here is how the artist himself defines his task: "I want that, looking at my illustrations, the viewer has a desire to smile and mentally for a split second to be inside the picture, perhaps to become its hero.
Book illustration is an essential supplement to the literary text, contributing to a deeper understanding and significant emotional perception of the work. In addition to the aesthetic function, illustrations enrich the decorative appearance of the book, increasing its attractiveness and interest to the reader. In some cases, an illustration can be a key element that determines the success of a book.
Currently, the artist is developing the creative concept of "Man and Nature", creates cycles in various genres: domestic, animalistic, architectural, as well as landscape, portrait, still life.
