The work of Russian illustrator and painter, Dmitri Viktorovich Novakov, epitomizes the height of perfection and attention to minute detail in the subject he represents. Born October 12, 1970, in Novosibirsk, Siberia, he states, "Even before my birth I listened to Bach with my mother and by the age of four, according to my teachers in kindergarten, I was an absolutely abnormal child because I never broke any toys but was always drawing and sculpturing". Novakov's family moved to Tashkent, Uzbekistan in Central Asia, and he was enlisted in art school for gifted children where he studied until 1987. He then attended Tashkent State Educational Institute and graduated in 1992 with a degree in Fine Arts. He then became a teacher of fine arts, drawing, and handicrafts. Novakov's circle of interests is very wide, but mainly focused on the fine arts, especially painting, drawing, sculpturing, literature and music. While studying at the institute, Novakov became interested in the arts of the Middle Ages and the early, high and late Renaissance periods. He was amazed by Albrecht Durer's aspiration towards perfection, accuracy, reasoning, eagerness and diligence. His desire was to achieve the same excellence. Day and night were dedicated to painting, researching reproductions and reading books on the subject. With his God-given talent, creative spirit, and a great deal of dedication, Novakov has been successful in accomplishing his goals with precise observation and flawless execution of naturalism. His brilliant imagination presents unique illustrations expressing personal emotion that touches our hearts. In April of 1999, under the Art and Culture Program sponsored by the Open Society Institute of Uzbekistan, a contest was held to generate ideas for art exhibitions. Novakov was among the winners with his concept for an exhibition of illustrations based on the fairly tales of Hans Christian Andersen. This is the subject of his exhibition held November 1999 at the Medical Center of Nazarov in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Novakov has been working on his illustrations to Hans Christian Andersen's stories for four years. Each illustration is one to two months to completion. Novakov stated, "When I decided to try something real it was Andersen, and this is what came from my interpretation".
