Contemporary realist paintings by Los Angeles, California artist Adam Normandin.
"For me," Normandin explains, "freight trains are like underdogs; Survivors, relentlessly pushing forward despite odds, conditions or circumstances. They are travelers, each bearing unique marks of time and resilience. Weathered surfaces, rust & graffiti… All evidence of accumulated experience. Collectively, these details reveal truthful & soulful stories that transform such ordinary objects into worldly & accomplished veterans. They become rich with history and an inherent beauty far beyond superficiality. With more than 150 paintings of trains (and counting), I have learned that a commitment to a single subject not only heightens my creative vision, but has expanded my sense of purpose in a way that can only come with a long term relationship. In the end, trains remind me that only the journey matters."

BIG NEWS Non mi reputo particolarmente bravo a scrivere. Mi piace suonare, raccontare in musica le storie che sento mie o che mi diverto a creare. La mia fortuna è quella di essere circondato da persone capaci di dare una forma più chiara alle mie bozze. Da questa fortuna nascono le “Home Sessions”, quattro brani registrati a casa di mia madre, grazie alle riprese del mio caro amico @3vis_ Andate a dare un'occhiata, link in bio. 🎸 #whitebronco #wb #homesessions (presso Modica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ts6rloasJ/?igshid=1nyjqn5vgo915

"Questa è memoria di sangue, di fuoco, di martirio, del più vile sterminio di popolo, voluto dai nazisti di von Kesselring, e dai loro soldati di ventura, dell'ultima servitù di Salò, per ritorcere azioni di guerra partigiana."
