Fernando Adam

Born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1955. Lives and works in Spain since 1998.

He studied art and design at the Instituto Neumann. He completed his artistic study with the acquisition of professional practice in carpentry and industrial design, both of which are skills that will be integrated in his art in the early stages of his career. By overlaying different media, for instance through the use of industrial paints over wood supports in his Objetos Límite, Adam seeks to explore and overcome the limits of painting as an expressive medium.

With his works, Adam builds a metaphysical pictorial space of intriguing perspectives and deranging landscapes. Adam creates a world of vast expanses inhabited by a dense atmosphere.

The artist invites us to embark on a dreamlike journey: a house with no roof in the middle of the ocean, a giant tree in a deserted island, musical Zen chairs swirling around a window. Sometimes a feminine figure appears in this mysterious equation: sensual lips, a graceful silhouette…

The duality represented by the contrast between silence and voice, absence and presence, is the unifying element in Adam’s work, conveying its consistency.

This paradox is the source and inspiration of each artwork. A vibration describes the transition between void and fullness. Both elements ultimately converge in one single and simultaneous sensation: a space filled by new ideas and opened to intuition.
