Livia Rusz is the most accomplished Romanian woman illustrators of our time, a most influential woman and A Great Lady of Tale. One cannot be too grateful for the chance to have grown up surrounded by her fascinating characters, her wonderful sense of color that lends such  uniqueness and contagious joy to the  tales she accompanies. Her indisputable trade marks: elegance and playfulness, comic and fairy, innocence and evil, rosy and fiery, all blend together into an enchanting never ending voyage. To be in Livia Rusz world's is a special treat, is an invitation one cannot resist, is the cherry on the cake one cannot refuse.

"Ever since I was a child  I knew I wanted to be a graphic artist. My father was a very talented man, but unfortunately he died young - I was only ten - so he could not teach meHe  wrote and drew very beautifuly. I drew day and night, but he was not really satisfied with my work, althought I tried very hard to please him. Once he enrolled me in the class of  teacher Szapos Sandor, a respected painter, where I was the  only child among adult artists. At the end of the course, my father was pleased to see I had  two drawings featured in the exposition. Then he gave me a paint set. I have preserved its box to this very day."
