Canadian artist Pietro Adamo’s emotive and energetic abstracts are an interplay of unusual shapes, richly textured layers and explosive brushstrokes. Originally an art professor, he became a painter specializing in realistic landscapes and commissioned portraits of Canada’s Parliament members. Achieving his lifelong dream of painting abstracts, he creates highly dimensional works made with layers of modeling pastes, gel mediums, silica sand, stucco plaster, acrylic colors, oil veneers and washes, as well as his own silk-screened photos. Adamo’s passionate abstracts can be found in galleries throughout Canada, Europe, Asia and the United States.
