Local Norfolk Island artist Adam Jauczius has been entering portrait paintings in the Australian Archibald Portrait competition for many years. Adam’s past five entries were of musicians, and music is another passion for Adam, and using his artistic talent to capture these portraits.
Adam believes conveying the sitter’s essence is the most important thing. “Painting a portrait isn’t easy, it’s a promise and I take it seriously. I promise to tell their story – say something about who they are – and put it down on canvas”. Adam captured his friends on canvas, and if anyone has seen these paintings, I’m sure they will agree, that each image is very special, and I am pleased I have seen most of them when they were on display at “Norfolk Art”, Adam and Jenny’s Norfolk Island art gallery and shop.
Adam Jauczius (pronounced “Yow-chus) is the local Norfolk Island weatherman and artist. Adam first came to Norfolk Island eighteen years ago. Adam loves the beauty of Norfolk Island and has captured stunning images of Emily Bay, ocean views, forest scenes, sunsets, and stunning areas of this remote South Pacific Island. Adam has also painted many amazing portraits and outback landscapes from his years in the Australian desert working as a Bureau of Meteorology Technician.
In March 2017 Adam and his wife Jenny opened “Norfolk Art”, a gallery of his original paintings, art reproductions and cards. The “Norfolk Art” premises is 102a Taylors Road, opposite the Norfolk Island RSL Memorial Club. When visiting Norfolk Island everyone is welcome to visit “Norfolk Art” and enjoy the art and paintings on display and purchase a gift for a friend or yourself.
Thank you, Adam for sharing your art with our Norfolk Island community and the Australian art community.
