The artist about his practice:
"The task of an illustrator is to create an image. Not to describe, not to repeat the text with a drawing, but to add some kind of reality. Then the book itself will turn out as a whole work, and the illustration in it as a special kind of art. This is not a picture that can be seen on wall in a frame. Here you need to think in turns, and all the details should appear at a distance of 30-50 cm from the eyes when a person holds a book. "
