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

 

Born in Toronto, Canada in 1955, Pietro Michele Adamo currently resides with his family in the town of Keinburg, Ontario. After graduation from the Fine Art and Art History programs at University of Toronto and Sheridan College in Oakville, Adamo went on to become an art professor at Chaminade College School in Toronto. There he established a strong Visual Arts department, and many of his students later became prominent architects, designers, illustrators and fine artists. Within two decades, not only did Adamo gain status as an effectual teacher, he also executed several private and public commissions of his work. By 1997, Adamo’s work commanded his full time dedication. Today Pietro Adamo continuities to create original works from his home studio, continually exploring the potentionalitites of self-expression through his abstract work. His work can be found in private and public collections throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
