About a series "Forgotten Garden":
This body of work explores worlds simultaneously ancient, mystic, and subconscious. These walkabouts through the ambiance and vast realms of once-blooming gardens conjure up stirring, emotional events from the near future and the very distant past. It demonstrates that oil painting's greatest potential may lie in bringing our most elusive dreams and ancient memories into focus through potent, highly imaginative compositions.
In this period, the works' intentions clearly show that Alexey likes to see art as an enigma and wants to keep it that way all along with his creativity. He tends toward mysticism and devotes his art research to more profound aspects of life to reflect his inner self. He offers a kind of ultra-world to escape from reality into the dreamy subconscious.
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.
