"Nirvana" is an exploration into pathways to deep and subconscious places. Flowing structures emerge from their own space and time, moving beyond giving way to contemplative inner worlds.
Although some of the works do not provide an obvious interpretation, there are always hints, so viewers who had the patience and self-discipline to stay attentive could draw their conclusions.
✔ 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. "Nirvana" was conceived and completed throughout autumn 2008 at the Island Studio, Jerusalem.
About a series "Nostalgia":
Nostalgia is about loss and sadness but also hope and the ability to keep moving forward. Deprivation and sorrow are balanced with feelings of transcendence and fragility by creating a reflective and focused actualization of emotions, enveloping the viewer in profoundly personal landscapes. These paintings extend the previous series "Stalker" and effortlessly flow between such genres as post-apocalyptic surrealism and classical abstraction.
About the artist:
Alexey Adonin explores the point of convergence between abstraction and surrealism to create a channel of communication between his inner world and the viewers, not only to share his personal vision but also and especially to invite viewers to elaborate their personal interpretations and narratives, establishing deep involvement both in the emotional aspect and in the intellectual one.

Artist Statement
Alexey explores the point of convergence between abstraction and surrealism to create a channel of communication between his inner world and his audience. He strives not only to share his personal vision but to invite his viewers to forge their own personal interpretations and narratives by involving them both emotionally and intellectually. His approach to his work is without preconception, allowing first for randomness. Alexey then takes advantage of the mind’s ability to derive order out of chaos. Finally, he strives to move away from banal copying reality toward creating one of his own—something that somehow reflects his inner world.
Biography
Raised in Eastern Europe, Belarus, the only child in a family of his mother, a building engineer, and his father, an art teacher, Alexey's artistic path began at a young age. He started attending Children's Art School drawing classes when he was nine. Alexey studied under the guidance of gifted teachers, including his father, one of his time's non-standard and advanced painters. Later, he went to an art college that further helped develop his artistic skills and gave him a sizeable practical base. In the early '90s, Alexey and his family relocated to Israel, where he resides and works today. Alexey has exhibited locally and internationally. His works have also been acquired by notable private collections worldwide. He has received numerous awards, most recently from Bruxelles Art Vue Foundation.
