Most people don't like to be confronted with an actual fact-of-life because it's difficult to metabolize. A painting of a bowl of fruit is much easier. It's for the same reason why we don't like going to the doctor. The diagnosis and x-rays are too honest. This is what creates the perception that contemporary art is shocking or suspicious.”

I do preach the idea of individualism as in not adapting any kind of style or model other than that one of your own. I always found it strange in art history when studying about the different guilds and movements. It sounded too contrived and having to follow devised parameters to create art. I personally am not a team player in that manner. The art should be labeled by the artist's name only.

Rate it:

I regard texture similar to the function of taste buds in our mouths. But in a visual form. Texture does create a specific flavour which affects our senses.

Art exhibitions would be less censored if they were rated, G or NC-17, like movies. People in general see galleries and museums as family-appropriate excursions. Censorship is a provided system which caters to lazy parenting, which is publicly-funded and socially accepted.

You can't measure dreams when you're a dreamer, because most often the caliber is unattainable.

Rate it:

Abstract art involves complex layers and perspectives. To be distinct and hold a truly personalized view point, every element in the piece must be devised to be claimed as entirely mine. Meaning it's all based on sculpture, because most of what we know of photography involves capturing someone else's work, which I dislike.

– Adamo Macri

Rate it:

I'm fascinated by longevity and its perseverance, by the idea of forever in a world where most things go away quickly. That legacy justifies the work and time spent developing anything significant. That in and of itself must be a key source of motivation for the art to exist and flourish beyond my lifetime. Also, the work does not necessitate my presence in any way. It's self-sufficient in that regard, and it completes the task at hand.

– Adamo Macri

Rate it:

My portraits have a neutral appearance to them. Depending on the theme, achieving the appropriate balance is always an obstacle. Proportions, like everything else, require meticulous measurement. That is, how masculine, emotional, and expressive they may come across and were meant to be - as if working in a science lab.

– Adamo Macri

Rate it:

Speaking of poison, unlike processed food, which is bad to consume, art should be the polar opposite: it should be over-processed to the point of being dangerous. To be deemed subversive, and intriguing to the eye and intellect, it must induce some form and degree of disruption. In that perspective, art is always safe, despite of idiotic censorship, as long as you don't eat it.”

– Adamo Macri

Rate it:

Suspicion and uneasiness gives an overall mysterious tone or even atonality to a piece, as in object in contention, something I always evaluate. Along with melancholy or disappointment, all of which are valid human emotions and sensitivities.”
