About author

Adomas is a photographer specializing in conceptual and metaphysical photography in the pictorialist style.

A member of the Union of Photographers of Russia since 2022 and a member of the Creative Union of Artists since 2024, he teaches photography technique and art at Vladivostok State University in the College of Information and Creative Technologies.

Adomas’s debut solo photo exhibition, featuring his original photo project “Apocalypse, ” took place in 2020 at the Vladivostok Museum of Contemporary Art “Artetage, ” after which his work has been repeatedly exhibited in various galleries and exhibition halls in his hometown of Vladivostok, and beyond, in Russia and abroad. In 2024, a solo exhibition of his photo project “Septentrion sobre el vacio” (“North over the Void”) was held at the Espacio Ronda creative center in Madrid, and then at the Barcelona Ronda creative center in Barcelona. His photographs were published in the international almanac “Rain Circle 2024” of the Moscow Union of Cultural and Art Workers “Metropolis.”

That same year, Adomas reached the finals of the 22nd All-Russian competition “Young Photographers of Russia 2024,” as a result of which his works were included in the finalists' exhibition at the Russian Museum of Photography in Nizhny Novgorod, then exhibited at museum and exhibition centers in Tver and Yoshkar-Ola, and finally at the Mosfilm Gallery in Moscow. In 2025, Adomas’s solo exhibition, “Šiaurė virš tuštumos” (“North over the Void”), was held at the Roman Yusupov Gallery in Vilnius, Lithuania. It showcased both his photographs and his experiments in filmmaking and video art.

According to Adomas, the line between poetry and photography is blurred for him, and he develops the concepts and images that move him, both religious and philosophical, both visually and verbally. He sees the meaning of his work as satisfying not only aesthetic needs but also religious ones.

Adomas is an active poet, writing and performing poetry readings at poetry evenings. Having been nominated for the national literary award “Poet of the Year, ” Adomas’s work was published in two literary almanacs of the Union of Russian Writers: “Debut” and “Anthology of Russian Poetry” in 2024.

He acknowledges that he owes significant support in his creative endeavors and artistic experiments to his wife, Paulina, and his two children, Roaldas and Gracia.
