ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This geometric watercolor by Adam Drake captures the enchanting beauty of Sveti Stefan, a small island in Montenegro known for its historic charm and scenic views. The piece is characterized by crisp, angular shapes that abstractly represent the island's iconic architecture, particularly its orange-tiled roofs. These vivid orange tones dominate the composition, providing a striking contrast to the surrounding natural elements. The island's clustered houses are depicted in simplified, almost cubist forms, with the rooftops arranged in a rhythm that mirrors the island’s real-life hillside layout. The geometric shapes give the piece a modern, structured feel while maintaining the charm of the island's old-world aesthetic. Drake's choice of geometry, combined with the fluidity of watercolor, creates a dynamic tension between structure and nature. The bold, warm tones of the roofs anchor the composition, drawing the viewer’s eye to the heart of Sveti Stefan, while the surrounding scenery radiates calm and serenity. This balance of form and color captures the essence of the island, evoking both its timeless beauty and contemporary appeal.

Adam Drake is a distinguished digital watercolor artist whose work bridges the realms of architecture and environmental art. He studied new urbanism at the University of Miami School of Architecture, where he developed a profound appreciation for how architectural forms interact with their surroundings. Drake's art offers contemporary interpretations of the new brutalist movement, exploring the beauty and harmony between brutalist structures and the oceanic environment. Inspired by the iconic brutalist architecture of I.M. Pei, the minimalist industrial design of Dieter Rams, and the whimsical elements of Michael Graves' post-modern architecture, Drake creates pieces characterized by clean lines, minimalist design, and impossible geometry. His color palette, dominated by blues, oranges, and greys, evokes the essence of the Mediterranean, reflecting his love for the coastal landscapes. His pieces capture the serene essence of the beach through a minimalist lens, creating art that is both visually striking and conceptually profound. Adam Drake resides in Westport, Connecticut, with his wife and two children, where he continues to blend architectural concepts with natural beauty in his digital watercolor art.
