Biography
Adam Miller was born in 1979 in Oregon. He began an apprenticeship to artist
Allen Jones at thirteen years old. AT Sixteen he was accepted to the Florence
Academy Of Art in Florence Italy where he underwent an extensive training in
classical painting techniques and studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance
firsthand. For the next four years Miller traveled in Europe studying the greatest
art of the past, especially the Mannerists in Florence and the Flemish Baroque
painting in Antwerp. It was while living in close proximity to the paintings of
Rubens in Belgium that he was inspired to create his style of large narrative figure
paintings.
In 2005 the chairman of the board of the Portland Art Museum recognized his
work and commissioned Miller to paint ceiling paintings in his vineyard where
the museum board meetings were held. It was after finishing these works that
Miller became known for his unique style. His work has since been commissioned
to adorn homes, ballrooms, vineyards and churches around the country. His work
has been shown in Galleries in the United States and Europe.
Miller approaches his work as a theatre director, taking control of light and space
to bring the visions of his imagination to life. The world he projects on canvas
can be challenging and dark or light and playful but the beauty of the color and
paint is always present. His work is filled with Symbols and mythology that
create an atmosphere of mystery and sensuality
Craft is central to millers work. Every painting is made with great skill and love,
Built up in layers of thin glazes and finished with rich impastos they are both
precise and painterly. Adam Miller has become one of the rising stars of the new
Realist movement.
