Leonid Kovtun was born in 1953 in the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia. He studied at the Grekov Odessa Art School. Today the artist lives, teaches, and works in his native city. The main direction of his work is icon painting, both canonical and non‑traditional, authorial.
What, however, interests us at the present moment is a dozen watercolor illustrations for The Master and Margarita executed by the artist.
“Then who are you, after all?”

Never talk to strangers

Pontius Pilate

The seventh proof

The Master’s appearance

“Cowardice is, no doubt, one of the most terrible vices.”

The game continues

“Never ask for anything!”

The Master’s extraction

“Manuscripts don’t burn”

Farewell and eternal peace
