The living body always wants (with wanting need) to allow the Light of Perfect Reality into the “room”. Assisting human beings to fulfill that impulse is what I work to do by every act of image-art.

—ADI DA SAMRAJ

“It is a rare artist who can convey, convincingly, the sense of being face to face with the source of being. Adi Da can clearly live in the depths without succumbing to their pressure, bringing back pearls of art to prove it.”

—DONALD KUSPIT distinguished art critic; Professor of Art History and Philosophy, State University of New York at Stony Brook

“Adi Da Samraj’s two- and three-dimensional shapes are always concrete communicative realities, statements of a mental order that is never repressive or closed off, but always germinating and unpredictable. In all instances, shapes germinate and multiply with sudden offshoots that reveal the potential of a new geometric eroticism.”

—ACHILLE BONITO OLIVA acclaimed critic; curator; former Director of the Biennale di Venezia
