Stilyaga 2016

"Stilyaga" is a 2016 digital painting by Babak-Matveev, featuring a man standing in a vibrantly colored garden. The man, clad in a green jacket, purple shirt, and blue patched trousers, exudes a distinct style. The composition is a blend of realism and surrealism, evident in the bold colors and the subject's almost detached expression. This work, indicative of the artist's contemporary style, explores themes of individuality and identity. The term "Stilyaga" references a Soviet subculture known for its unconventional fashion choices, aligning with the artwork's focus on style and self-expression.
