"The incomprehensibility of being" devoted to the Central theme in creativity Yankylevsky — the search for existential foundations of peace and at the same time — of the impossibility of comprehending this mystery. It raises the problem of man's loneliness in the universe, internal and external freedom, the relationship of male and female.

the Project of the new Museum includes six themed sections. He starts with the earliest works of the author — chamber of figurative sketches by the late 1950-х, painting and pastels.

leaves of Etching cycles 1970-х years "City-маски" and "Mutants" ("Sodom and Gomorrah"), created under the influence of the events of the period "thaw", give the image of a metropolis populated by anthropomorphic monsters. If "mutants" tell us more about the external socio-политической fact, the "Illusion of freedom" reveals the inner framework and the possibility of going beyond them.
