About the Author

Javier’s work delves into the psychology of portraiture and archetypal stories, where he uses the human figure as the central axis of the narrative, creating dreamlike, delicate, intriguing, and sensual images.

After studying some years with Sebastian Salvo, he received a scholarship in 2018 to study in Scandinavia with the renowned painter Odd Nerdrum during 2019 and 2020.

Javier Adams is an active member of the Memorosa Group, an international order of artisans who follow strict guidelines in their work, based on the canons of Hellenistic Greece and the Renaissance schools.

In November 2020, he founded Taller Apeles in Santiago, Chile, where he currently develops his work and guides the process of students and painters from Chile and Latin America.
