About the Artist:
The Melbourne-born Adnate has gained international recognition for his large-scale murals that depict people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. His work is characterised by a hyper-realistic style that captures the essence of his subjects with a striking level of detail and emotion. Through his art, Adnate explores the themes of identity, community, and cultural heritage, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and perspectives. As a teenager, Adnate was drawn to graffiti and street art, and began experimenting with different styles and techniques. He was particularly interested in the idea of using art as a form of social commentary and activism and saw the potential of murals to connect with people in a powerful and meaningful way.
