Illustrations of the Honored Artist of Ukraine Natalia Muravskaya for the book "My Tender City" (by A. Mirzoyan) is undoubtedly a bright event in the art world. Illustrating a book of poems dedicated to her hometown - Yalta, the artist invites you to take a leisurely stroll along the embankment, admire the sea, remember summer days filled with music, light, love …
Natalia Muravskaya's graphics are a clear form, understandable pictorial language, deeply emotional, full of variety. Thin and graceful, linear drawing collects the form, from time to time, as if suddenly, saturated with rainbow color and tone. And this artistic technique perfectly reveals the idea of the book. Pure tones of the rainbow reveal the conceived code of the depicted, emphasize the tenderness and tremor of the line, which continuously weaves an exquisite pattern. The color, manifested by the finest strokes of a colored pencil on the white surface of the paper, highlights the semantic or compositional accent. The book's many beautiful details create a festive, romantic mood. Looking more closely, you can catch a careful selection of images, the symbolic and spiritual content of the picture.
Now, when in all areas of being, quality becomes a luxury, the appearance of a book illustrated so professionally, thoughtfully, with inspiration is significant. All illustrations, vignettes, as well as the cover font are made by the artist by hand, without the use of computer technology, perhaps that is why they so excite and sincerely surprise the viewer.
The delicate, openwork ligature of the drawing, combined with a complex, multidimensional composition, fills the space of the book, saturating and enriching the perception. Natalia Muravskaya's illustrations are a kind of creative dedication to the city of childhood, they are deliberately naive, filled with trusting, touching love and warmth.
The work of the artist Natalya Muravskaya is saturated with the polyphony of feelings, impressions, decorated with divine chords of joy and harmony almost forgotten in art. Contemplating the illusory-real, and at the same time, the poetic world of her graphics, one is imbued with respect for the drawing and the warm pacification of its understanding. The viewer spontaneously has a desire to continue this figurative-associative series of the narrative and mentally, following the artist, add his impressions and emotional colors. I would like, as in childhood, to endlessly look at the pictures in the book, remembering my long-forgotten delight …
