About the Artwork:
"The piece, which I entitled "Hidden Dimensions", invites exploration into the uncharted layers of human consciousness and the cosmos. In this abstract composition, the balance between chaos and order, the collision of geometric shapes with organic textures, seeks to visualize the invisible energies and force fields. The palette playing with shades of blue, black, and red represents the contrast and interplay between the internal realm of feelings and the external world, while the sharp lines and soft brushstrokes depict the diversity and dynamism of human life. This creation beckons the viewer on a journey where personal interpretation and emotions are given the liberty to soar."
The painting was created by combining oil and acrylic paints on a uniquely textured plexiglass panel, which was then coated with a clear layer of epoxy resin.
Thanks to the use of spacers, the artwork “floats” on the wall in an aura of beautiful light, made possible by the app-controlled LED backlighting.

"Andrew Manaylo's "The Vibrant Dance of Existence" from the Genesis Art Series is a masterful articulation of life's dynamic fluidity. At first glance, one is immediately captivated by the exuberant splashes of color juxtaposed with shadowy undertones, simulating the dance between light and darkness, joy and melancholy. The painting's tactile quality, achieved through textured brushwork and meticulous layering, imparts a sense of chaos, yet there lies an underlying order, reminiscent of the way life itself oscillates between unpredictability and structure.
The scarlet and cerulean hues, almost like fire and water, engage in a visual ballet, embodying the fiery passions and calm respites of human existence. The fragmented geometric shapes introduce a structural component, possibly alluding to the man-made constructs within which the organic dance of life unfolds. The sporadic white markings, almost ethereal, appear like fleeting moments or memories, evoking a sense of nostalgia.
Manaylo's artwork, in its entirety, serves as a profound meditation on the multifaceted nature of existence. It underscores the vitality of embracing both the harmonies and dissonances that life offers, suggesting that it is in this dance that one truly comprehends the essence of being."
