Dmitry Byurganovsky is an artist, newspaper and book designer.

Dmitry Anatolyevich BYURGANOVSKY was born on July 17, 1948, in Leningrad. He graduated from the Leningrad Higher Art and Industrial School named after V. I. Mukhina (now the St. Petersburg State Art and Industry Academy named after A. L. Stieglitz) with a degree in "artist of industrial graphics and packaging."

From 1973 to 2006, he worked as chief artist and art director for the newspapers Chas Pik, Smena, Sankt-Peterburgskiye Vedomosti, Vecherniy Peterburg; the magazines Protokol i Etiket, Personal-Mix, PR-Dialog; the agency Severo-Zapad Media; and the publishing house Kult-Inform-Press.

He taught at the Children's Art School of the Dzerzhinsky District in Leningrad, the V. I. Mukhina Higher Art and Industrial School, and the Leningrad Institute for Advanced Training of Information Workers.

He is a member of the Union of Journalists of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. Laureate of the journalism competition "Golden Pen – 2011."

Dmitry Byurganovsky's watercolor and graphic works are held in private collections in Russia, Germany, Israel, and France. The exhibition features watercolors from 2015–2016, executed using a combination of alla prima and wet-on-wet techniques. These are primarily landscapes of central Russia—simple, lyrical compositions conveying various shades of the artist's mood.

D. Byurganovsky has completed over 100 design projects for creating trademarks and other corporate identity elements for various organizations. His works are characterized by deep thoughtfulness and mathematical precision of lines, combined with apparent lightness and simplicity of graphical solutions. The signs and logos he authors quickly evolve from merely new graphical silhouettes into recognized St. Petersburg brands. Among the most well-known are the logo of the newspaper Chas Pik, the photo information agency Interpress, the shopping and entertainment complex Grand Canyon, and the corporate symbols of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Society, the publishing house Kult-Inform-Press, and the company Microbit. He was awarded the silver medal of the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements (VDNKh) for creating the logo and renewing the artistic and graphical design of the newspaper Smena (1989).

The exhibition also presents books and magazines whose design, layout, and typesetting were executed by D. Byurganovsky. These include the photo monographs St. Petersburg. Around the Clock, Russia. The Romanovs. The House of Romanov in Photographs, The First Russian Photojournalist Karl Bulla; the books Jazz from Leningrad to St. Petersburg and Dialogue with Swing, Vladimir Nielsen. Artist and Teacher, Yuri Temirkanov. Strokes to a Portrait, Four Words About Andrei Petrov, Pavel Markin. Diagnosis: Photojournalist, Nadina's Stories, For Labors and Merits to Orthodoxy, Children of War; the biographical directory Who's Who in St. Petersburg – 2015; the photo albums Reborn from Ashes: Petrodvorets, Pushkin, Pavlovsk, The Velikoretsky Procession; the album series Scenery of the Classics, the photo essay St. Petersburg. Beloved City, and special issues of the almanacs Photochronicle of St. Petersburg and Photochronicle of Russia.

Meticulously and scrupulously working on both small books and significant publishing projects, the author seeks to convey to readers his conviction that the book is the foundation of true culture. The ease and depth of the reader's perception depend initially on the choice of the publication's format, font combinations, margin sizes, and the design of the book's entrance. D. Byurganovsky was among the first in our country to construct and use complex modular grids for designing layouts of periodical and serial publications.

The first personal exhibition of D. A. Byurganovsky was organized in the year marking the 100th anniversary of his father's birth—Anatoly Markianovich Tishkin (1916–1976), a participant in the Great Patriotic War, colonel, remarkable educator, founder, and first director of the Children's Art School of the Dzerzhinsky District in Leningrad, simply known as the "Tishkin" school (now Children's Art School No. 1 of the Central District of St. Petersburg)—in memory of his lessons in art and life.
