Critic
Yashigin is a virtuoso and a universal artist. Whatever graphic or painting technique he works in, everywhere he creates refined metaphorical works in form. In the last 10-15 years, he has carefully followed the creative achievements of major European artists. Having worked for many years within the Azerbaijani school of fine arts, Yashigin has constantly paid attention to the interaction of plastic manners, schools, and movements, developing his own individual style.
