May 1980

"May" is an intricate 1980 print by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin. The artwork, executed in a distinct, detailed style, depicts a central figure seemingly trapped within a teardrop-shaped vessel. The figure is surrounded by smaller, repeating motifs, suggesting a confined or cyclical experience. Aksinin's work is often characterized by its symbolic imagery and exploration of existential themes. The use of black and white tones contributes to a somber and introspective mood, making "May" a thought-provoking piece.
