S. A Krestovsky ( b. 1952) has the honorary title of the winner of the seventh Artiada of the peoples of Russia for illustrations to the tales of H. K. Andersen, the honorary title of the winner of the eleventh Artiada of the peoples of Russia for illustrations to the prose of modern Russian writers.: A. Kim, A. Likhanova, G., Nagaeva. He repeatedly received diplomas of the all-Russian competition of art of the book of the state publishing House of RSFSR, the nominee for the prize "Golden Apple" BIB in Bratislava. Published 15 articles about the artist in Moscow and foreign magazines and encyclopedias. December 2014 – letter of Thanks from the President of the Russian Federation for many years of fruitful creative activity and significant contribution to the art of the Russian book. 2018 - another letter of the President of the Russian Federation. For the last 12 years, he has mostly illustrated children's books.

In Russian iconography is the rank of "in thee rejoiceth all creation Rejoiced". As Krestovsky believes in this, perhaps, there is a sense of creativity: to see a miracle and thank God for the beauty of the universe and constant care for us - with his pictures, books. The fairy tale allows the artist to give not only a direct pictorial series, but also a parallel one in which the figurative side of the work, the country, the era, the writer is created, there is an opportunity to dream up and be a co-author. Each book -for him it is a new approach to the theme, color, plastic and imaginative series. How interesting it was to communicate to him with the good genius of Hans Christian Andersen, who himself was an excellent painter. 156 books are illustrated, including
