About The Artwork

Alexander Levich ingeniously reimagines a pivotal biblical narrative in "Wasp (Adam and Eve)," transporting the viewer from the Garden of Eden to a serene seaside backdrop. The canvas is vividly divided into two contrasting segments. Dominating the upper frame is a brilliant, pristine blue seascape, its intensity mellowing to a gentle turquoise as it kisses the white sandy shore. This paradisiacal backdrop serves as an ironic echo of Eden. The foreground introduces an intriguing twist, as a young couple, attired in contemporary swimsuits, find themselves amidst a moment of profound contemplation on a boardwalk. The scene, veiled in the shade of an unseen tree, exudes an air of tension and anticipation. Drawing inspiration from the original tale, the woman extends an apple towards the man. His posture, reclined and hesitant, is emblematic of the uncertainty that accompanies temptation. While there's no physical representation of the wasp, its absence is palpable, serving as a symbol of seduction, much like the serpent in the biblical tale. Levich's "Wasp (Adam and Eve)" is not merely a visual treat but an invitation to introspection. Through juxtaposing a timeless story with a modern setting, it prompts reflections on the perennial nature of temptation, choices, and their repercussions, irrespective of time or place.

What is the most important thing in life? It's not the external surroundings but our inner world. Painting serves as the key that unlocks this realm. By following this path, one learns not just to look, but to truly SEE. Through my art, I delve into profound content. Painting becomes a medium of communication, a canvas for thoughts. The questions are always deeper than the answers, and the answers are discoveries we make within ourselves. My paintings serve as guides, leading you along the pathways of your own thoughts. I aim to offer you the joy of connecting with your inner world, the luxury of harmony and solitude in communication with yourself. I was born in 1963 in Kyiv, Ukraine, and in 1987, I graduated from the painting faculty of the Kyiv Art Academy, under the guidance of Professor A.M. Lopukhov. Since 1990, I have been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. As a professional artist with over 30 years of experience, my artistic journey can be divided into two main periods. The first period, which spanned over 20 years after my graduation, can be described as "Metarealism." The second period, which I refer to as my "return to realism," began around 2010, you may explore my artworks from both periods showcased here. If you would like to delve deeper into my portfolio, view additional paintings beyond those displayed on this website, or if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly via email at a.levich@protonmail.com. You are also warmly welcome to visit my studio in Kyiv. Thank you sincerely for your interest.
