N. Tsikulina belongs to the masters, whose creative path is filled with spiritual quests, numerous experiments in the field of form. “For me, complex forms have always been interesting, executed in a graphic manner, but in the technique of oil painting,” the author notes. Gradually, through reflection, analysis of everything seen, read, experienced, interesting ideas began to appear, revealing to me my own path in art. When drawing, I became interested in the image of crumpled paper. I wanted to depict the paper as an image, breathing life into it through the shape of a face or figure. The next step was the creation of paper, bags or foil sculptural works. I want to extend the life of fragile, short-lived material in painting. In my works, it is interesting for me to combine the sculptural volume, the graphic rhythm of tonal spots, picturesque halftones. I subordinate all external formal developments to the main thing - the expression of the Spirit. "The inner world and inner beauty are not visible to the eye, but visible and palpable by the soul - without them the picture is empty."
