It has been said a gallery filled with Adam's art appears to showcase the work of 10 different talented artists, not 1. At their core is perspective...and his is unique. Whether architectural pencil lines or bursts of colors that seem born from a dream, Adam absorbs people & themes from his actual life exposure, merges them within himself, & reissues them to us altered & affected by the spiritual, emotional, and psychological light of autism. Reality & fantasy marry & give birth to something new
Where do you find inspiration?Relationships & stories. He observes & continues to grow & learn. His mind is young & in many ways unrestricted. His vision is extraordinary & exceptional. Without knowing or intentionally aiming to do so, he is teaching us. Autistic individuals ("Neurodivergent" persons) experience the world on a different level than do most other "Neurotypical" people. Adam takes everyday topics & amplifies the details or experience. When younger, this sensory explosion resulted in pain & overload. He's healed
What would you do with $25,000?Adam has begun to illustrate & publish his own books. The first is a children's fantasy space-adventure tale entitled, "COMMANDER ADAM AND THE SPACESHIP". Working with his father, Adam has started his own website (adamofdadam.com) & evolving business (DADAM ENTERPRISES INC LLC). 25K would be judiciously used to help promote & export his brand, products, & message to promote the potential talent(s) of Autistic & Special Needs individuals. He hopes to inspire others--whether special needs or not.
