Boris Zabirokhin is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Russian printmaker Boris Zabirokhin captured seasons in stark, graphic style—his Winter (ca. 1998) shows snow-laden pines under a low sky, and Spring (ca. 1993) turns birch groves to delicate lace after thaw. Both prints use thick black lines and flat color blocks, a nod to Soviet-era poster art meant for wide distribution. Look past the weather: the silhouettes of buildings or fences in the distance anchor each scene to a specific place. Next, tap Winter to see how he layered shadow and light only with ink.
