In 1955 he moved to Paris, and later to London. He was influenced by Roberto Matta and Wifredo Lam. His early work is rather expressionist; later, he developed a painting style reminiscent of French Cloisonnisme. Between 1985 and 1998, there were four retrospective exhibitions of Adami’s work. These took place in Paris, at the Centre Julio-Gonzalez in Valence (Spain), in Tel Aviv and in Buenos Aires. In 2010, the Boca Raton Museum of Art dedicated a special exhibition to Adamis’s paintings and drawings.
