METAPHYSICS OF SPACE AND TIME IN WATERCOLORS BY ANDREI SAMOLINOV 
«Genius LOCI» (Genius of the Place – Lat.)* – this is a series of exhibitions featuring works by Andrei Samolinov, a renowned master of urban watercolor landscapes, a participant and winner of numerous international exhibitions and contests, with his works held in private collections in Australia, Georgia, Israel, France, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and other countries. 
Andrey’s multifaceted creativity is, above all, dedicated to the CITY – a multilayered crossroads of ethnicities, religions, and cultures; a place of social, spatial, and temporal interactions, where the past intersects with the present and each day breaks down into countless human stories. His watercolors, infused with the movement of space, air, and light, allow viewers to feel the author’s impressions and emotions. At the same time, their imagination and interpretations entering the SPACE created by the artist, engage in a direct dialogue with him, enriching the master’s universe with their own thoughts and sensations. 
The first exhibition of the «Genius LOCI» series took place in 2022 in the artist’s hometown of Samara, on the banks of the Volga River, and later continued in Israel (in 2023-2024, his exhibitions were held in Haifa and Karmiel). Now, thanks to the collaboration with ART SHARE GALLERY, it is time for Petah Tikva to discover Andrei Samolinov’s artworks. 
We hope that during the artistic journey through this exhibition, the viewer will not only enjoy aesthetic pleasure but also experience the creative magic of the artist’s emotions and feelings, inspired by his interaction with the urban space, which “guardian spirit” he becomes in his works…
