"Danger. Proceed with caution. Radioactive zone. You hit the nail on the head. A home run! It’s operatic in a way.. like lots of your work. (I think). Here we see Don Giovanni transplanted to 2025 Montréal. Hot. Superb!"

"Adamo, there’s something about this image that immediately pulls me in, it’s raw, moody, and magnetic. You’ve captured more than just a moment, you’ve captured a feeling. It’s not just the look, the leather, or the sunglasses.. it’s the silence behind the eyes, the story etched in every detail.
You titled it the Night Call, and it fits so perfectly. There’s a sense that this isn’t about nightlife or noise, it’s about who we become when the world quiets down. The version of ourselves that surfaces when the mask slips and we’re left with only our truth. The scar, the hourglass tattoo, the slightly tilted head, it’s defiant, but vulnerable.
Timeless, yet fleeting. Like time’s running out, but you’re not afraid of what’s coming next. You wear it all like armour, not to hide, but to own every chapter that’s brought you here. This portrait doesn’t ask for attention, it commands it. Quietly. Powerfully. It lingers, like a song that plays long after the music stops. You didn’t just answer the night’s call. You became it. Bravo!"
~ Rosie S. (Administrative Management, Vanier College)

~ Petra Mattes (Artist, Rottenburg Germany)

"I'm not often lost for words, but this really evokes a moment, a feeling, it looks like a still from some wonderful film yet to be made."
~ Judith Desrosiers Malaney (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Researcher, Wallasey UK)

“The GOAT! Heavy Adamo, I love this, makes me feel HOT and rebellious (in a way). Mystery and directness Adamo ~ like bring it on babe! I love it.”
~ Anna Calabrese (English Montreal School Board)

"A wake-up call from the Universe. Ready to fly to explore the space? I know you'll enjoy it! It will be the best opportunity. No more spleen. Not anymore. Good luck!"
~ Iris Gross (Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania)

"Khepra the scarab on your chest. But your face is slashed. Must have been quite a rough night. I had my days when I was in the theatre and when I lived in the West Village so long ago. I know what it’s like to have a great but very rough night."
~ Michael K Waterman (Multi-media artist, New York, Savannah Georgia)

"Great job!"
~ Christine Ellen Hynde (American-British musician, songwriter, lead vocalist Pretenders)

"You look much more in command and not quite so seductive here! No more masks to hide and reveal your deep sexual urges. In charge, confident in your skin! There is even a hint of compassion in your look! Well the sunglasses are a form of mask, hiding what you think and where you are looking, but the neck with the Adam’s Apple gives string allegiance to your corporeal and sensual being!"
~ Peter Togni (Yale University)
