Artist Bio – Adam Weinzapfel
Born and raised in Colorado, I am a versatile artist who wears many hats and thrives on creative exploration. Inspired by the beautiful chaos of life and death, light and shadows, human emotion and the untamed sprite. My work spans multiple themes, mediums and styles leading to a vast portfolio that extends several collections of work. Whether splattering paint in a burst of spontaneity, experimenting with lighting, optical illusion’s and fire, or refining an illustration over hundreds of hours. I love being an artist.
Passion for Painting
My work spans many branches and approaches While each collection carries its own identity and intention, painting itself is where I find peace. Some works are built from intense thought and meaning, while others come from a quieter place — moments of joy, curiosity, movement, and pure creative release. Not every painting is meant to fit into a series or explain itself. Sometimes the process alone is enough: the rhythm of the brush, the energy of color, and the feeling of getting lost in creation. Those moments of serenity and freedom are just as important to my work as the larger concepts behind it.
Mad Apple Gallery llc
The business umbrella that brings together the many evolving collections and artistic directions within my work. It was created to unify a wide range of projects under one identity, allowing each collection to maintain its own distinct voice while remaining part of a larger, connected body of work. One day, it will grow beyond a name into a physical space—a gallery where these works can live, be experienced in person, and continue to evolve in a shared environment of art and imagination.

Untamed: Warm & Cool Tones
Next Gallery May 30th - June 15th 2025
As an artist I explore so many themes and so much of my work shares a common energy: it’s untrained, untamed, and wild-spirited. What unites these pieces isn’t subject matter but bold contrasts between deep light and dark tones. Each piece carries a dynamic energy, with vivid warm tones burning against deep, cool hues. The collection explores themes of both emotion and the untamed spirit.

Heroes Become Villains, Alter Egos exposed, Nemeses Revealed:
The inner battle between who we are and who we fear we might become. Each painting embodies iconic oppositions—hero and villain, alter ego and nemesis, light and shadow—contained within a single figure. Created using a combination of traditional acrylics and fluorescent paint, the works reveal dual images through shifts in lighting. Under black light, one glowing identity emerges; with the sweep of a simple beam of light, another version is unmasked. This transformation exposes the fragile line between opposing selves, where heroes become villains and hidden identities are revealed.
