Nostalgia

Paintings Series | Oil on Canvas

Years: 2008-2011

"Nostalgia" is a collection of paintings that explores the themes of loss and sadness, while still conveying a sense of hope and a drive to keep moving forward. These artworks strike a delicate balance between feelings of deprivation and sorrow and emotions of transcendence and fragility. By creating a reflective and focused actualization of emotions, the viewer is immersed in deeply personal landscapes. These paintings pave the way for the upcoming "Stalker" series, flowing effortlessly between genres such as post-apocalyptic surrealism and classical abstraction.

Adonin's paintings from this period showcase a whimsical journey through Tarkovsky-esque surroundings, characterized by a free-flowing brush and melancholic colors. His skillful use of color and imagination results in abstract creations that take on a life of their own. Adonin's work encompasses a range of styles, from contouring lines and color blocking reminiscent of a bygone animated era, to Turner-inspired landscapes in a sci-fi setting.
