Palms & Pools Artwork

Adam Drake is a distinguished digital watercolor artist whose work bridges the realms of architecture and environmental art. He studied new urbanism at the University of Miami School of Architecture, where he developed a profound appreciation for how architectural forms interact with their surroundings. Drake's art offers contemporary interpretations of the new brutalist movement, exploring the beauty and harmony between brutalist structures and the oceanic environment. Inspired by the iconic brutalist architecture of I.M. Pei, the minimalist industrial design of Dieter Rams, and the whimsical elements of Michael Graves' post-modern architecture, Drake creates pieces characterized by clean lines, minimalist design, and impossible geometry. His color palette, dominated by blues, oranges, and greys, evokes the essence of the Mediterranean, reflecting his love for the coastal landscapes. His pieces capture the serene essence of the beach through a minimalist lens, creating art that is both visually striking and conceptually profound. Adam Drake resides in Westport, Connecticut, with his wife and two children, where he continues to blend architectural concepts with natural beauty in his digital watercolor art.
