About a series "Destination Beyond":
I had a sneaking suspicion that there was more going on than my five senses could tell me. This is how I found my window into worlds that lie beyond the vanity of worldly affairs, places that no man has ever seen. I knew I needed to explore these unseen realms, relying on my intuition to find the answers I sought. As my attention sinks into these imaginary worlds, it gradually loses the focal dynamics of ordinary perception and, at a specific moment, reveals its original potential - pure and living Consciousness.
Q: How did science fiction come to influence your work?
A: I am a big fan of sci-fi. I remember being obsessed with it in childhood so much. I got my inspiration from books of famous Russian and international writers, such as the Strugatsky brothers, Alexander Belyaev, Ivan Yefremov, Stanisław Lem, Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, and many others. I used to love drawing a perfect society based on intelligent technology with no nature pollution. I had imagined humanity transcended its existence beyond the home planet and expanded further into space. Since then, I grew up, I increased my range of interests but still refer to sci-fi as the core of my inspiration—where it all started for me.
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.
