From abstract photography to painting.

Back in 2010, and for nearly a decade in Barcelona, Adalierd dedicated 100% of his time to developing photography. During the last period doing images, Adalierd practically decomposed the realism of his photography to enter into total abstraction.

After presenting and exhibiting the core of the final stage of his abstraction in photography in Manhattan, New York City, alongside the artist Claus Cibils, he decided to retire the camera and dedicate his active work exclusively to painting.

He never picked up the camera again in the pursuit of creating art. 

This decision was made 16 years ago. Painting had captured his heart, his hands, and his total interest. 

Even so, it is not possible to understand Adalierd's current work in painting without accepting his last stage as a photographer, from which a large number of components emanate.

Back in 2010, and for nearly a decade in Barcelona, Adalierd dedicated 100% of his time to developing photography.

There exists an extraordinary documentary photo-archive capturing life on those streets—a portrait of several years in a city and its people, capturing a moment when the city was on the brink of tremendous expansion.

Trapped within are a unique perspective, a clear intention to echo the views of photography masters in history, and a special ability to freeze beautiful moments in time and compositions that have yet to be seen.

In 2022, during his final months in Vienna, after more than 15 years of creating it, Adalierd began the process of cataloguing and editing his photographic work for future publication in book form.

Few art pieces were produced during this period, more so in the last stages. Adalierd expanded his view to magnify his portraits, capturing hundreds of people at the same time in a series called "HUMANS". Some of his pieces found homes through art dealers in Chicago and in public collections.
