The Snow Queen

"The Snow Queen" is one of the most famous fairy tales in the world, inspiring many artists. Upon hearing its title, one involuntarily envisions an ancient Danish town on Christmas Eve, falling snow, the sleigh of the Snow Queen carrying Kai to the North Pole... All this forms a well-established illustrative canon. However, artist Anton Lomaev offers his vision of the famous fairy tale, transferring its action to the 20th century. This century - complicated, terrible, and beautiful - has been a test of resilience for much that seemed unshakeable to people. In such a refracted light, Andersen's tale sounds quite different, prompting the reader to look again at the familiar plot. And to see that it remains relevant, enchanting readers with the words of the great storyteller about enduring values - faith, hope, and love.
