Igor Volkov-Tkachinskiy
"Cold and fire meets as one. The crimson dawn dreams of spring"

2025

About the Item

Igor Volkov-Tkachinsky’s work embodies the dramatic tension of opposites: cold and fire, vulnerability and renewal, destruction and creation. At its center stands his muse—an unclothed figure immersed in the interplay of light and shadow, emotion and color. Painted with oil and acrylic on canvas, the composition balances on the edge of abstraction and figuration, where the interaction of geometric forms and fluid lines creates a unique rhythm. Yet the true story of this painting extends beyond the image itself. During preparations for an exhibition, the model portrayed in the piece cut the canvas, an act that transformed into part of the artistic narrative. Rather than restoring it conventionally, Igor employed the traditional Japanese technique of kintsugi, stitching the fragments together and highlighting the seams with gold paint. What could have been an end became an act of rebirth, turning fractures into pathways of transformation. The very gesture of repair became a symbol of harmony between past and future, pain and beauty. Contrast is at the heart of the work. The crimson dawn, dreaming of spring, speaks of hope and the anticipation of change—a transition from inner cold to the fire of life. This dialogue of opposites continues not only in color and form but in the very fabric of the painting itself: in its textures, in the seams that once divided but now define its wholeness.
