N. Voranau’s landscapes as well as his other works are characteristic of the fine colour choice and harmonious colour combinations. The artist himself stressed: “The important thing is colour which reveals the essence of an event and does not serve for self-expression of an artist”12.

In the industrial landscapes and cityscapes, N. Voranau masterfully recreated kaleidoscope of contemporary life of Belarusian cities, captured the uniqueness of their image, characteristic features of everyday life, work and leisure of their citizens.
N. Voranau manifested his talent, perhaps, in all major genres. From time to time, the artist painted still-lives with pleasure. They are distinctive due to the simple laconic composition but they are always extremely complicated in colour (Roses, 1956; A Sunny Day, 1958; Window, 1964; An Open Window. The Spring Has Come, 1972; September. Sunflowers, At the Artist’s Studio, both — 1973). The master seemed with their help to perfect his skills in seeing the variety of colour combinations in the material world. Making the task more complicated, the artist often painted bouquets against the window. It is known that conveying the effect of counter light (when the source of light makes a silhouette out of an object) is very difficult in painting. There is a danger to “blacken” the painting. However, the master seemed to have no such a problem. He skillfully distributes the tone gradation throughout the canvas, while maintaining the right balance of colour and form.
As a rule, N. Voranau put a still-life into the interior complementing the main composition. There is a unique mood and the breath of time in each of the abovementioned paintings. The artists still-lives with tender, smoky and as if melting colours and shimmering, elusive forms are in many ways consonant with interior compositions of outstanding Belarusian artist Stanislau Zhukousky and with the traditions of the short-lived in the early twentieth century association “Blue Rose”.
In the painting An Open Window. The Spring Has Come the breath of the fresh, still frosty air that burst into the room is felt almost on the physical level. An uncomplicated composition is built on contrasts of colour and light. In the room immersed in the twilight, all items are painted in the finest tonal nuances. A view of awakening nature looks like a bright accent in the wide-open window. Life is going on there manifesting itself in the already high azure sky, bright sun flecks laying down on the roofs of houses in intricate patterns, branches of still leafless trees, and the dazzling snow beginning to melt. Depicting this view, Voranau put in it all his temperament of the artist, all the rave of colours, of which only he was capable. It seems that even the street noises are heard in the quiet room, where everything is silent... It is in the stilllives by the master that an internal, symbolic and poetic content of art hidden behind unpretentious external forms remains the fundamental part.
In his last year Natan Voranau was very ill. He passed away being 61 at the peak of his creative powers. Until the end of his life the artist never ceased to
create. Painting for him was akin to a natural human need to breathe. How much more Natan Maiseevich Voranau conceived, how many plans he bore in his heart — it will always be a mystery for us. However, the paintings that the artist left behind are the greatest treasure of Belarusian art. The artist was buried in the Paunochnaye cemetery near Minsk.
Works by Natan Voranau are kept in the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Minsk (now, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts), in the funds of the Belarusian Union of Artists, in the Museum of the History of the Belarusian State University of Physical Training, in the private collections in Belarus and foreign countries.
