Considering her sculptural compositions, created over a quarter of a century, the author explores the evolution of artistic images, focuses on the peculiarities of the artist's shaping, noting a new understanding of immateriality despite the massiveness of sculptural works and the laws of gravity. External laconicism and clarity of form are paradoxically combined with a wide range of tense internal states in her works. The search for an actual artistic image and its new plastic expression, experiments with forms of the "sign" type, emphasized comparisons of different scales in a single space distinguish Maria Burganova’s works.
