About this work

This image shows a black background with three floating oval shapes—two pale and one slightly darker—drifted near the top. Below them, two diagonal lines cut across the scene, like a sharp slice of light or shadow. The text in the top left reads "Ал. Михайлов" in white, and the bottom says "Евгений Винокуров" in bright orange. The floating ovals look almost like eyes or moons, while the lines feel like they’re cutting through space. The colors are stark: black, white, and that one bold orange name. If you like this kind of bold, simple design, check out lithography next.
