“Adara” is a 2023 mixed media artwork by Miguel Ángel Payano Jr., an Afro-Caribbean American artist known for his interdisciplinary approach that blends painting, sculpture, and collage. The piece measures 24 x 23.5 x 7 inches (61 x 59.7 x 17.8 cm) and is crafted on wood and vinyl.
Payano’s work often explores themes of identity, cultural intersection, and communication, drawing from his experiences living in the U.S. and China. His art challenges traditional boundaries, creating a unique visual language that reflects his diverse background.
“Adara” was featured in Payano’s solo exhibition “Out From” at Charles Moffett Gallery in New York, which ran from April 8 to May 13, 2023.
