Moscow-based digital and tattoo artist Stanislaw Wilczynski creates minimalist geometric tattoo designs inspired by the Russian suprematism movement. His creative tattoos could be recognized from mostly bold and very distinctive lines, although what’s new here is that Wilczynski also introduces us to a very interesting approach in body art – “digimatism”.
Digimatism, as the artist states on his website, “is a term to describe pure, non-evocative, abstract shapes created by means of digital technologies.” The term itself is formed from two words: “digital” and already mentioned abstract art movement “suprematism” characterized by geometrical shapes that are associated with ideas of spiritual purity. Combining it with German minimalism, and futuristic Japanese ambiance, Stanislaw Wilczynski creates these clean-designed tattoo ideas with the help of computers. Scroll down and take a look at these unique tattoos for yourself.

So the artist used 'digimatism' and a computer to come up with a square?
bored panda back at it again with the minimalistic tattoos
Tattoos should have a meaning. Or at least look nice. Some of these do... but the rest...
Hi Emilie! Apparently, they have a meaning, but it's not that obvious. Here's a line from Stanislaw's interview: "After I visited Tretyakovskaya Gallery, where all the 20th century’s Russian Avangard paintings are, including Malevich Black square, I had a pure catharsis. I fell in love with Suprematism at first sight. Suprematism seems to be the art of the spotless intellect. Adjusted, thoroughly built compositions. But if you focus your attention long enough, you’ll see that somewhere in the depth, under the layer of minimalistic clean forms, there is always the drama, the tension, the history. It’s the same in my life - I’m hiding my deepest emotions under my calm appearance."

Actually, they're mechanical, trite, and not very creative. There's nothing particularly original about them - I've seen similar designs all over the world. The vast expanses of black are very typical of people who get tattoos because they're into the pain. There is nothing of the personality of the people who have the tattoos in the designs, rather the artist seems to have told them what they want - NOT a hallmark of a good artist.
What gives you the right to say this. "tattoos should have a meaning or at least look nice" No. Tattoo's are a personal thing.
Wish i knew the meaning of them all
Who says tattoos have to have "meaning" (whatever that means)? Mine are pretty. That's about it. I like the designs.
