Zodiacs by Adam
This collection reimagines the zodiac through a rich fusion of symbolism, astrology, and artistic expression. Each piece intricately weaves together the living embodiment of its sign, celestial elements, ruling planets, and constellations, creating a vivid and immersive interpretation of the stars. With carefully researched color palettes and layered details, these works offer a fresh perspective on the cosmic forces.
Home-team Colorado
This collection celebrates the energy, intensity, and emotion of sports through the Rocky Mountains and beyond. Each piece captures the movement and spirit of the game—from iconic moments to raw tributes honoring athletes. Blending dynamic composition with a unique artistic approach, from thrown paint to subtle brushstrokes, these works bring the excitement of sports to life on canvas.
Neon Duality
Explore the inner battle between who we are and who we fear we might become. Each painting embodies iconic oppositions—hero and villain, alter ego and nemesis, light and shadow—contained within a single figure. Created using a combination of traditional acrylics and fluorescent paint, the works reveal dual images through shifts in lighting. Under black light, one glowing identity emerges; with the sweep of a simple beam of light, another version is unmasked. This transformation exposes the fragile line between opposing selves, where heroes become villains and hidden identities are revealed.
Art by Fire
This collection begins with wood stain as a foundation. Gunpowder is carefully brushed onto the surface and ignited, burning deep, dark tones into the wood. Traditional paint is then layered on top to create the lighter values, contrast, and form.
Messiahs Life
A single, immersive work that follows the life of Jesus through seventeen stages, supported by over two hundred surrounding figures. Woven throughout the composition are hidden elements—seven fish, seven doves, seven lambs, and seven symbols from the artist’s family crest, referencing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. A companion map and video guide viewers along the path, inviting exploration, discovery, and reflection within the narrative.
Artistic Story Telling
