ADELPHIA’S ART STATEMENT:
I’m a multidisciplinary contemporary artist and creative director, with a strong focus on canvas painting and visual storytelling. My work explores themes of transformation, deformation, and mo ments of stillness, captured through layered compositions, bold contrasts, and expressive color. With over 14 years of experience in motion design and broadcast media in Europe, I bring a narrative-driven approach to my canvas work, merging structure with spontaneity, and blending traditional techniques with a modern design language. Trained in media but rooted in fine art, I move between digital and analog processes to create emotionally resonant, visually striking pieces. My practice on canvas is a dialogue between discipline and intuition, story and form. Each piece reflects an ongoing fascina tion with imagination, emotional depth, and the delicate balance between chaos and calm. I’m particularly inspired by contrast—in shape, form, and color—and by nature: the light, the ocean, the sun, and the quiet spaces in between. I also work as a motion design artist, illustrator and tattoo artist,
creating across disciplines—always returning to painting as the center of my evolving artistic journey.
