Pietro Adamo

Adamo abandon’s the monotony of conventional rendering of geometric forms through his textured surfaces and rough contours. In his passion to convey emotion, Adamo intimately works his canvases emerge and recede within the canvas. This juxtaposition of presence is what gives Adamo’s work its mood and sensational quality.

Adamo clearly delights in the unbridled, intuitive nature of his forms that enable him to evoke sensations and emotions. Adamo emphasizes his art’s liberation quality: “I have to paint…to speak without words, to express myself without restrictions…never relenting.” One can find optimism and strength in his work as he combines sophisticated geometric spatial relationships with raw, emotional use of color.
