"Very operatic, very italianate, brilliant in my opinion. Great on a big stage of a big house. The Met? Your images unleash in me a flood of vague, related stories: as in the legends of Ovid. Suggesting so much, stating so little definite. Always the nuance which affects each viewer differently. Reminds me of Monastatos."

"The besotted Gionvanni, a pitted soul marred, scorned of all passion.. with molten beams, now, cast of stone, 'Don'."

"Turandot. To obtain permission to marry her, a suitor has to solve three riddles; any wrong answer results in death."

"A subject I know fairly well.. programmed cell death. The elimination of the old to make way for the new / belt = as in a cyclic event or death by constriction, much like the morphological changes to a cell as its internal machinery breaks down. The Cell starts to change, constrict, break down, consume itself until Life is no longer possible. The face and chest show signs of trauma (the black make-up).. evidence of some kind of explosion.. the red center like the heart of a dying Star. The 'programmed' pattern, cyclic event of Birth/Life/Death - much like a conveyer 'belt' rolling us along from the Old through to the New. We must all be prepared for what the Universe dishes out for each of us. Intriguing imagery Adamo.. Bravo! I love how you use Science-based themes in your Work. Truly inspiring and it really Sets my Imagination on fire!"

"Even though I sit in the dark, fixated by Macri’s fantastic light, I am ablaze with inner fire and write under the hot force of hammer. In some respects Orgone Box should be coupled, since coupling is intrinsic to Macri’s art, with another stirring portrait, Belt Apoptosis, the title of which points to the artist’s awareness of scientific facts, of the presence of dying in life to make way for new life, a process cells undergo with regularity. Along with a host of other admirers, I can recognize the cohesion and unity in his collective work, because one piece naturally, inevitably, leads to another."
