Artwork/Illustration Spotlight - Victor Molev

I discovered Victor Molev work a while ago and enjoyed it instantly; he is original and unique while also bizarre and even a little bit cheesy. Victor is a painter and graphic artist but most importantly he’s a real storyteller.

These drawings remind me of my childhood, of the time when I was a little girl reading stories and I used to be fascinated with the drawing in those books. I’m talking about the drawings done in a surrealist manner with wired forms, strange shapes and colors (remember that first letter of any chapter that  was so intricately drown that you had to guess what it was?!). They seemed so unreal to me back then, I used to look at every detail for minutes and they would stay with me for days. I can still remember the feeling they gave me, a fascinated, confused, want to understand feeling, it really was like magic, the kind of feeling that only a kid can get.

No wonder I find that his oil paintings and drawings are perfect for a kid’s story book, they are sweet and a little grotesque sometimes and they say a story of their on. When I look at his work it gives me a feeling of fairytale, it’s like a whole story is taking place in front of my eyes, he creates the kind of places that every child wants to live in. I can only imagine how exited the young me would get seeing these drawings. Hope you enjoy it!
