Hello! Today, we will immerse ourselves in the unique artistic world of Valery Eduardovich Tsygankov—an artist who masterfully blends digital technology with philosophical inquiry. His work represents a fusion of artistic expression and profound contemplation of existence. Tsygankov uses digital technology not as an end in itself, but as a subtle tool to penetrate the very essence of the visual image. In his works—complex plastic constructions—the contrast of textures and colors gives rise to a sense of metaphysical depth and inner dynamism. One of the most striking features of Tsygankov's work is his ability to create a tense, three-dimensional space within a two-dimensional image. It draws the viewer inward—into the realm of philosophical reflection on the universe, which disintegrates into atoms and reassembles itself in the rhythms of horizontals and verticals. The artist remains faithful to the traditions of Russian art while speaking the language of modernity. In his works, Suprematist forms acquire a new, technological resonance. Tsygankov thinks like a contemporary artist: he combines a spatial-monumental vision with digital graphic execution and explores the relationship between the object and its environment through the new digital medium. Let's examine some of his works. In «Ma.Ma. Africa» (2016), Tsygankov employs the language of abstraction to reveal the metaphysical connection between the human essence and natural forms. At the center of the composition is a stylized depiction of a head, within whose contours the shape of the African continent can be discerned. This visual synthesis creates a multidimensional image where the personal and the planetary, the bodily and the geographical, merge into a single whole. In the work «Tango of Iron» (2016), the artist uses a concise and powerful language of black-and-white graphics to unfold a complex plastic and philosophical metaphor. The composition is built on a tense dialogue between two main elements: a frost-covered, ice-like surface reminiscent of a winter window, and a graphic drawing of bare trees. This visual confrontation is the «tango"—a strict, refined rhythm where the «iron» will of lines and forms interacts with the fragile, almost crystalline matter of the winter atmosphere. The work «Mask. Rad.» demonstrates how Tsygankov creates a multi-layered visual metaphor where form and content engage in a complex interaction. The composition is built on a powerful color and semantic contrast: an intense, emotionally charged red conceals and simultaneously reveals the features of a human face. The digital technique allows for the effect of the face «showing through» the color plane, creating a sense of depth and internal dynamism. Tsygankov's creativity is not merely artistic experimentation using digital technologies. The artist searches for meanings, rhythms, and energy. He connects traditional artistic potential with a new digital form without losing meaning, and with respect for art. In his hands, the digital toolkit does not appear as a foreign intervention but serves as a natural foundation that reveals his mastery of execution. Valery Tsygankov's exhibition is an invitation to a dialogue between tradition and innovation, form and meaning, matter and spirit. We invite you to witness this unique artistic event and discover the depth and multifaceted nature of his work!
