Sometimes you really want to forget about your worries and return to the world of a serene childhood full of magic and miracles. When all living things (and inanimate ones too) were endowed with supernatural features, when the unknown at the same time frightened and beckoned, when fairy tales, even the most terrible ones, ended happily … illustrations for books from Natalia Moroz … In her pictures, the night does not look scary, because the world depicted is illuminated by a pretty month. Yes, exactly cute, because he is almost the main character with legs and a bad habit of smoking!
Natalia Moroz was born in 1984 in Kiev, where she still lives. It is not enough to call Natalia an illustrator. After all, this young Ukrainian girl not only draws illustrations for books, but is also seriously interested in photography (in which, by the way, she has achieved great success), and also loves to travel.
Drawings by Natalia Moroz can be seen on the covers of books, she recently illustrated a collection of poems by Y. Pogorelsky. She pays great attention to details: she carefully and skillfully depicts every little thing. Illustrations for books from Natalia Moroz are original - this is the case when they not only complement the work, but are themselves a work of art, which we have already seen, for example, in the illustrations by Alexei Kurbatov.
When Natalya Moroz draws, she does not tell fairy tales in her own way, but creates her own. In her fairy tales, the magical world is located between heaven and earth, closer to heaven. This is the world that we would see if we learned to fly. It seems that the artist needs wings for inspiration: almost every painting depicts flight. You look at these flying people, animals, at this whole cozy fairy-tale world - and there is a great desire to get there, or at least ride on a heavenly swing!
