Painting: Oil and Gesso on Canvas. "Si las plumas hablaran, contarían con más detalle la historia del Indio Sheriff que por blanco era Sheriff y por dentro era Indio. Lo blanco lo tenía de nacimiento y la insigne estrella se la heredó al abuelo que se la ganó por matar en una sola noche a 894 indios... pero el pobre Sherifff, que creció junto a los mismos indios—tan odiados por su familia— adquirió otra visión sobre ellos, hasta el punto de llegar a sentirse parte de la tribu. Tan Indio era por dentro que hasta la corona de plumas, que no se quitaba ni para dormir, se la habían tejido los mismísimos pájaros como agradecimiento por prohibir su caza en todo el condado. Pero el choque entre la estrella y las plumas no tardó en mostrar sus efectos y de pronto un día el Indio Sherifff fue sorprendido por ambos bandos. Los blancos le cortaron las manos para que no pudiera proteger a los indios y los indios le cortaron la boca para que no pudiera defender a los blancos. Gracias y gracias a ambos! Desde entonces el Indio Sherifff es coherente."
Daniela Adamez (1986) was born and raised in Colombia until the year 2000, when she moved to Spain with her family. Barcelona became her hometown for the next 12 years, where she completed her studies in Political Science in 2009 (University of Barcelona) and began working for the Autonomous Government of Catalonia. A year later she initiated a 6-year experience as an international strategy consultant working for governments and international organizations from several countries of the EU and Africa. In 2012, Daniela moved to Rome and spent 2 years traveling on a continuous basis to Luanda. In 2014, she completed a Masters in Business Administration by a prestigious business school in Barcelona. In 2015, her passion for art led her to quit her job and pursue a career as an artist. Currently established in Barcelona, Daniela Adamez has sold her works in Spain, Italy, Colombia and the United States. ARTWORK Daniela Adamez’ artwork reflects the characteristic ambiguity set in the social and behavioral roles that our modern societies experience on a daily basis. Her imagery focuses on anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures that were initially inspired by pre-Columbian art. Today, however, the recurrent characters and style of her portraits take insights from everything: from her personal experiences, travel, current events, politics and religion to fashion, literature, video games and social media. Using acrylics and oil paints, mainly on large formats, her simple and colorful compositions narrate our commonly shared urge of individuality in lonely settings. Thus, depicting social metaphors and critiques that incorporate bold graphic lines and geometric shapes as a way to establish clear boundaries against reality.
