Exlibris of Olena Burdash 1976

This 1976 Exlibris by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin is a visual symphony of geometric shapes and symbolic imagery. The artwork is printed in a pale green ink on paper, emphasizing the artist's masterful use of line and shadow. The central motif is an intricate, almost cubist depiction of a ship sailing on a body of water, framed by a triangular structure. The inscription "EX LIBRIS ОЛЕНИ БУРДАШ" identifies the artwork as a bookplate, a mark of ownership for books, and suggests a playful and whimsical personality. Aksinin, who passed away in 1985 at the young age of 35, left behind a legacy of bold and visionary artistic creations.
