Adamo was born in Southern Italy in 1964 and he is the youngest of four children. At age 20 he graduated from Dawson College with a degree in Commercial Arts. Throughout his four years at school he studied both graphic design and fine arts. Macri uses multiple mediums to create his pieces including photography, drawing, sculpture and video. " He focuses on capturing a series of stills which when assembled in a sequence, create a narrative that functions in its own." To help him be successful with his art, he usually creates a storyboard of rough sketches first.
It takes him a long time to finish a piece becuase of all the different forms that have to come together as one. My favorite part of an interview with Claudio Parentela, Adamo is asked "What is your best piece of advice for those who would like to rise in their level of artistry?" He responds with "Determine what you’re about. Find the best medium and technique to communicate what that is. Remain focused, honest and stick to your guns. This may sound typical but it’s the only way."
