Abstract:

The article considers the art of Yavor Tsanev as personal, clothed in silence, even aristocratic. He has a very clean, laconic, synthetic language in his painting. He is a minimalist who achieves a very strong and deep spiritual stillness and drama in his art. His works visually leave an impression of hypnotic and metaphysical impact, with accumulated spiritual experience. In them, freedom was achieved in the thematic-mythological interpretation of the soul and spiritualization of the material. The paintings of Yavor Tsanev are conceived as fascinating narratives, filled with fantasy in the combination of symbols, signs, images and their semantic meaning.

Keywords:
