Ladies and Gentlemen! Here is another story from the Canadian storyteller Victor Molev. At dawn someone brings to the square of one of the cities of the Fairy World a huge barrel organ, created by the imagination of a fairy tale architect. In each cell of this amazing structure sits a musician - many of them - and together they form an orchestra. The orchestra begins to play its music, and the louder it plays, the lighter the sky becomes outside the windows of the little rooms of the pre-dawn musicians! And now dawn is coming to the fairy-tale city, the fairyland and the fantastic world created by the artist's imagination. Some of the musical windows open into other dimensions, and one of them, perhaps, into our own. This will allow us to meet the dawn a moment earlier. A dawn without war, violence and humiliation, and a beautiful tale from the artist's fantasy world will enter our lives as well!
And I have been friends with this saxophonist for about 30 years!

Victor Molev is a contemporary award-winning Canadian artist. He is working in the styles of Decorative Realism, Fantasy, Symbolism and Surrealism. In the mid-1970s, as an aspiring young artist, he took drawing and painting lessons under the apprenticeship of Moscow sculptor Tatyana Vishnyakova. But it wasn’t until his early twenties that Molev became familiar with the works of Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte, M.C. Escher and Frank Frazetta through books and magazines. Molev was incredibly inspired by these artists which became like mentors to him.
After receiving an education in architecture, the artist worked in the field for ten years. He then worked as a set designer at the Pushkin Opera and Ballet Theater. Both of these jobs are still reflected in the creative processes of the artist. He has created his own unique and intuitive world of dreams and absurdity. His works are sincerely naive and kind.
Victor Molev was born in 1955, in Gorky, Russia. His works were exhibited all over the world, including the Art Museum of Saint-Frajou, France. Molev has also participated in numerous international competitions of humorous drawing, and won numerous silver and bronze medals.
