“Eyes gazing into a far-off memory. And.. I really like that hat.”

“You look at me through the gray glasses. I sense your thoughts, but I don't know them. Nevertheless, your gaze captivates me. Fascinating!”
~ Anton Lechner (Visual artist)

“Adamo, this piece is an arresting fusion of texture, form, and vision, an image that transcends mere representation and enters the realm of storytelling. The interplay of soft and hard elements, the woven knit against the angular futuristic lenses, the flowing fabric draped like a timeless relic, creates a tension between past and future, organic and synthetic, mysticism and technology.
But what truly captivates me is the reflection in your glasses. It feels intentional, as if revealing a hidden dimension, a glimpse into an unseen world. The cool blue tones, sharp and otherworldly, contrast with the warmth of your gaze and garments, reinforcing the duality of time and perception. There’s a sense that the lenses aren’t just shielding your eyes but expanding your vision, allowing you to perceive beyond what is immediate. It becomes a visual metaphor for Psionic Foresight, suggesting an extrasensory awareness, a seer’s ability to witness truths before they manifest.
Your expression is both enigmatic and knowing, embodying a quiet defiance against time itself. This portrait is not just an image, it’s an experience, a portal into a narrative still unfolding. A stunning work that lingers in the mind long after the eyes have moved on. Bravo, my friend!”

“This fine portrait repays study ... perhaps for other reasons than those already stated.”
~ Kenneth Radu (Canadian writer)
“Psionic Foresight is a tricky title, ironic perhaps, playful, with a touch of deliberate bravado, daring the viewers to imagine what the head in the portrait actually sees or thinks, as if it can predict what the future holds for us. The eye, as mentioned, doesn’t stare at the viewer nor penetrate the viewer’s mind. It avoids the viewer’s gaze, so no one can really see, although one may pretend to see, as we so often do, what emotion, other than wariness and hesitation, the eye possibly expresses behind the lens, crowded as it is with reflections of the outside world. In a sense, the outside is absorbed within and reflected back. But is that special insight, foresight, hindsight, or simply the physiology of seeing through a lens, or through a glass darkly? The latter metaphor brings us right back to religious implications and essential uncertainty of self, as implied in I Corinthians.”
