Teaching and Creative Legacy
While there, he helped establish a strong visual arts department, one that saw many of his students go on to become prominent architects, designers, illustrators, and fine artists. During his two decades of teaching, Adamo continued to paint and executed several private and public commissions of his work.

A Distinctive Artistic Style

The paintings of Adamo are a celebration of the artist’s admiration for the “unpredictable and inexhaustible record of life.” He abandons the conventional renderings of geometric forms through his textured surfaces and rough contours.

Inspired by Travel and Heritage

Adamo draws influence from artists of all periods and the world around him. Travel is an important source of inspiration, especially trips to Italy, his ancestral homeland. During these extended stays, Adamo is able to explore monumental art and architecture as well as the small details of the rural landscape.

A Lasting Creative Journey

Adamo’s career as an artist has been a journey of continuous exploration and growth. His paintings on paper and canvas have a constant audience. He has also released a highly successful series of hand-pulled prints and posters. Today, his work can be found in galleries throughout Canada, Europe, and the USA.
