Soans, Olev (1925 – 1995). Composition. (1980s)

Olev Soans (1925 – 1995), a distinguished Estonian graphic artist and professor, presents “Composition” (1980s), an etching on paper that captures the spirit of his creativity. Educated at the State Art Institute of Estonia, and later a professor there, Soans has left an indelible mark on the Estonian art scene. Since the 1970s, he was particularly renowned for creating historical maps using etching techniques, reflecting the rich culture of Estonia. This piece, measuring 48 x 34cm, echoes the artistic innovation that earned him a Kristian Raud prize in 1985. A testament to Soans’ brilliance, “Composition” (1980s) offers a glimpse into the extraordinary world of one of Estonia’s finest artists.
