Suit Of Lights I Painting

Colombian and Spanish artist, Daniela Adamez was born in Bogota in 1986. She currently lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. After earning a degree in Political Science, she worked for many years in this field, and later devoted herself to painting and illustration. Her artistic training is self-taught, developed during her childhood spent painting the shapes and characters from the pre-Columbian art imagery that surrounded her. Among her most relevant influences, she cites deconstructionism as well as the stylistic expression of Amedeo Modigliani, art brut, comics and tribal art, which has always fascinated her. Daniela Adamez’ artistic production is undeniably influenced by Modern Mannerism. The artist’s peculiar figures pay tribute to the tenderness of the human figure between deformed and stylized forms. Her work focuses on painting portraits and fleeing moments halfway between reality and fable, featuring characters of her generation who are obsessed with the idea of being loved by people. Out of focus patterns and blurry, albeit meticulous, details adorn her vibrant brushstrokes of color on bright and often interior backgrounds. In interpreting her own version of the human form on paper and on canvas, Daniela Adamez continuously explores the boundaries of imperfect beauty through portraits of contemporary cultures. Her works have been exhibited in several international galleries as well as in international art fairs: Art San Diego ’17, USA; Art Innsbruck ’18, Austria; and Art Madrid ’18, Spain. Collectors from Colombia, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UAE and the USA have acquired her works.
