Description
Sweet Support is a painting constructed on the poetic principle of reconciling the irreconcilable. A cat resting upon a crate of mandarins appears as an image of serenity — almost illusory — especially when one considers that cats are instinctively averse to citrus scents.
Yet here, these two protagonists — the mandarin and the cat — coexist in quiet harmony. Their union is deliberate. Both are carriers of festive memory, symbols deeply embedded in the emotional landscape of winter celebrations, family rituals, and shared warmth.
In my cultural context, mandarins are inseparable from the New Year season. They embody a small, radiant sun brought into the coldest months — a sensory reminder of light, sweetness, and anticipation. Cats, by contrast, are creatures of nuanced temperament: tender yet independent, affectionate yet self-contained.
This duality forms the conceptual core of the work. Two elements from seemingly opposing worlds converge to suggest that harmony is not born from sameness, but from contrast.
The painting reflects on care, tranquility, and joy — and on the subtle, often unexpected forms of support that emerge when differences are allowed to coexist.
About the series
The “Moroccan Dream" series is a journey of inner balance and self-discovery amid a restless world. Inspired by Morocco's harmony of tradition and modernity, its vivid colors, patterns, and architecture reflect the path of growth—moving forward while staying true to our roots.
Each work shifts between wide views and intimate details, inviting calm, curiosity, and play. The lemon tree appears as a quiet guide—a symbol of clarity, vitality, and the joy of rediscovering simplicity in a complex world.
Presentation
Ksenia Tsyganyuk, born in 1991 in northern Russia, began her artistic career after moving to Rivne, Ukraine. Her paintings—landscapes and still lifes—capture a joyful, childlike sense of wonder through vibrant colors, rich textures, and ornamental details. With a touch of naïveté in her imagery, she seeks to awaken the viewer's “inner child," reminding them of how beautiful the world is when one is free from expectations, eager to explore, and ready to experiment.
In today's fast-changing and stressful world—marked by crises, wars, and forced migration—it's easy to lose balance and feel overwhelmed. Ksenia's art offers a moment of respite, inviting viewers into a dialogue with their own feelings of lightness and freedom. She hopes to rekindle the emotions of childhood, when one felt safe, at home, and surrounded by love. Her goal is to create art that helps people reconnect with their inner Sun—the light that guides them through life.
Ksenia works in mixed media, blending acrylic and oil on canvas. She favors a loose, expressive style that preserves the spontaneity of each brushstroke, allowing emotions to flow freely onto the canvas.
