ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The beach was teeming with life, but one man in particular caught my eye. He was a giant, muscular figure with a thick, hairy back that seemed to glisten in the sun. I couldn't resist the urge to capture his essence on my sketchpad, but as soon as he noticed, he disappeared like a mirage. Despite the setback, I refused to be deterred. I decided to improvise and drew a stand-like structure as a substitute for his legs, which added a surreal edge to the sketch. I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as I gazed upon it. Later, I combined the man's sketch with a minimalist background to create a new masterpiece with a powerful, semantic message. The painting features a mysterious reddish sphere in the upper left corner that hints at the impending future, shrouded in mystery and untold possibilities. But that's not all - the bottom area of the painting tells a story as well. It's a haunting depiction of the end of shellfish season, with thousands of dead creatures strewn across the shore like a macabre work of art. It's a powerful reminder of the harsh realities of life and death, and the fleeting nature of existence. ✔ The painting is signed on the front and back. It is on a gallery-wrapped canvas with finished black edges and comes ready to hang. "Man On The Beach" was created between November 2020/January 2021 at the Otherworldly Dream Studio in Jerusalem. About the series "Intelligent Water": I find the hypothesis intriguing that Water is a sentient substance on Earth that receives signals from the Ether and converts them into psychic energy. Our existence is not independent, and we rely heavily on Water, among other things, making it difficult to deny its importance. We inhabit a living planet with an intelligent ocean where Water is a form of life, as portrayed in the Strugatskys' "Solaris." Essentially, we are nothing but carriers of particles of its intellect.

STATEMENT: Alexey Adonin is an artist whose work invites viewers into a profound dialogue between abstraction and surrealism. By merging these two potent artistic languages, he creates visual narratives that transcend the boundaries of personal vision, encouraging the audience to construct their own interpretations. His art goes beyond the passive act of viewing—it seeks to engage the viewer emotionally and intellectually, fostering a shared creative experience. With a deep reverence for the creative process, Alexey embraces spontaneity and unpredictability. His approach to art is free from rigid preconceptions or constraints, allowing intuition and imagination to guide each brushstroke. Through this process, he uncovers patterns in randomness, revealing order within chaos and lending his work a dynamic, organic quality. Alexey’s ultimate aim is to transcend the mere replication of reality, creating an evocative world that mirrors his innermost thoughts and emotions. By continually pushing the boundaries of artistic expression, he not only explores new creative horizons for himself but also encourages his audience to unlock their own creativity and potential as artists and human beings. His work stands as an invitation to explore the rich terrain of imagination and possibility. BIO: Alexey Adonin is a Belarus-born, Israel-based artist whose work embodies a fusion of abstract surrealism, influenced by his diverse intellectual and creative background. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the arts—his father, Alexander Adonin, is a respected art teacher, painter, and musician, while his mother, Svetlana, is a building engineer—Alexey’s artistic path began at the age of nine under his father’s mentorship at a local art school. By 15, Alexey had secured a place at Glebov Art College in Minsk, where he further honed his skills and explored a variety of artistic styles. His formative years were enriched by a fascination with science fiction literature, history, biology, paleontology, geography, and astronomy, all of which became touchstones in his artistic practice. These early influences shaped a vision that grapples with the complexities of modern life, tempered by a deep respect for nature and a focus on positivity. In the early 1990s, Alexey and his family moved to Israel, where he continued to evolve as an artist, integrating his experiences into his work.
