Marco Adamo

Biography

"I paint exclusively by kicking a ball full of colors, which vary depending on my psycho-physical state and according to what inspires me at that moment. I am the only one in the world who paints using this technique. I love football, I love art and I love my way of combining the two. " (Mark Adam)

In the art of Marco Adamo every balloon is an attempt to break down hatred, corruption and violence, it is a game played to color a different world, a better world. 

To do this, the artist chooses the ball, not a brush, pulls it with his feet, not with his hands. And on the canvases he leaves the imprints that are the sign of a gesture detached from the surface, a technique well known with Jackson Pollock's Action painting: the color poured from the brush, dripped on the huge canvases forming "gestures" and "randomness", giving life to a style in which the artist places himself in subordination and becomes a "simple" intermediary between the intent and the result. 

 The color balloons overlap and replace the brushstroke with a symbolic "I was there" creating suggestive abstract shapes.
