The Snow Queen is one of the most famous fairy tales in the world and has inspired many artists. Hearing its name, you involuntarily imagine an old Danish town on Christmas Eve, falling snow, the Snow Queen's sleigh taking Kai to the North Pole... All this is an established illustrative canon. However, the artist Anton Lomaev offers his vision of the famous fairy tale, transferring its action to the 20th century. This century - complex, terrible and beautiful - has become a test of strength for many things that seemed unshakable to people. In such a refraction, Andersen's fairy tale sounds completely different, forcing the reader to look again at the familiar plot. And to make sure that it does not lose its relevance, telling with the bewitching words of the great storyteller about enduring values - faith, hope and love.
