The art critic and curator Christoforos Marinos wrote about the painter: “What is the essential thing in an art like that of Adamakos? The quest for the void, the artist’s persistent effort to depict the void, forms part of the uncertainty under discussion. The void here is the essential thing [...]. There were mornings when he looked up, through the back window of his studio, stared at the gray doorway of the building across the street and imagined the painter ancestors floating in the dawn light. ‘Thank you, thank you,’ he would murmur. He was grateful to them all – all the painters who had toiled to vanquish Fear and despair, to illustrate the void.”
