Ksenia Tsyganyuk

Life

2023

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 feels 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.Education CV 2021 - “How To Loosen Up Your Painting” course by British artist Richard Claremont 2019 - "Create Paintings You Love With" course by Canadian artist Mike Svob 2008-2013 - St. Petersburg University of the Humanities and Social Sciences, Bachelor of public relation, 2008 Physical exhibitions 2024 - “Winter”, group exhibition at the Art Center, Zdolbuniv, Ukraine 2023 - “Dreams of the old city”, group exhibition, Zdolbuniv Center of Culture and Leisure of the Zdolbuniv City Council, Zdolbuniv, Ukraine 2023 - “Hope” solo exhibition, EuroArt Gallery, Rivne, Ukraine 2020 - Charity exhibition, Palace of Children and Youth, Rivne, Ukraine 2018 - "Streams" solo exhibition, Art space «Anna», Rivne, Ukraine Virtual exhibitions 2022 - Biennale Artbox Expo, Venezia 1.0 2022 - "Yellow Blue", online exhibition, 118 Art Gallery 2022 - Sapphire Art, online exhibition 2022 - Virtual gallery "Artbase", The Holy Art Gallery, London 2020 - The Virtual Art Fair, online exhibition 2020 - 2020 ALL WOMEN ARTIST, online exhibition Awards 2021 - Winner, The International Festival of Talents "Olympus Star", category "Fine Arts", senior 2020 - Special Recognition award, Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery, “Animals” Art Exhibition 2020 - Excellence Award, Awesome Art Prize 2020 2019 - Winner of the painting reproduction competition for the honor of the famous Ukrainian artist Ivan Trush Publications January 2024 - Featured artist for the magazine A Like Artist vol. 2 Art Book, Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art, Spain January 2023 - "10 Questions with Ksenia Tsyganyuk", Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art, Spain
