Combining the arts of digital imagery and surrealist manifestations, Adam Martinakis is a formidable talent in the world of computer-generated media. The Polish experimentalist is diversely creative with the ability to produce the virtual artworks of digital and graphic design, as well as the physical art of interior design and ceramic sculpture. Although technology is often perceived to be cold and robotic, Martinakis’s work is immersed in the exploration of the human condition, evoking a creativity that is at times chilling and at other times heartwarming. The surrealist imagery is juxtaposed with a hyper-realistic vision of the human world that transforms Martinakis’s stone characters into humane symbols of soul-wrenching emotion.

The visionary creator describes his work as a ‘mixture of post-fantasy futurism and abstract symbolism’, demonstrating that for Martinakis the future is a turbulent wave of human passion. The darkness of his imagery is tied to his futuristic techniques of 3D visualisation and photorealistic expression, which string together the threads of realistic creatures expressing themselves in a surrealistic dream-like backdrop. Although the UK-based artist has received numerous awards and exhibited all over the world, the hunger in his work and the originality spurring his imagination continuously develops his art into captivating journeys of the human psyche.
The inspiration is always internal, it comes from the inside and you carry it with you all the time. Artists are persons who carry their duty all the way with them. It is not really a job, it is a way of living.
