Adama, known as THE NEW PYRAMID, is an Ivorian-American visual artist based in New York. Born on March 25, 1995, in Katiola, Côte d’Ivoire, Adama draws inspiration from his rich cultural heritage and vibrant urban landscapes that have shaped his artistic perspective.

Raised in Abidjan, Adama attended School Group Rodin and I.P.E.S before fleeing the civil war that gripped Côte d’Ivoire between 2010 and 2011. In 2012, he and his mother sought refuge in New York City, where he embraced a new chapter of life, marked by resilience.

In 2013, Adama began to explore his creative potential through a collaborative work at Beam Center Community, mastering skills in carpentry, metalworking, woodworking, and electronics. His artistic repertoire expanded as his work found expression across diverse mediums, including gallery exhibitions, interior design, music album covers, magazines, commercial public art, and custom fashion.

Between 2013 and 2015, Adama took part in the Leaders in Training (L.I.T.) program with the International Rescue Committee, further refining his craft and leadership abilities. By 2021, his artistic ambitions culminated in the "Road to 50 States" project, sponsored by Pharma Almanac, while simultaneously designing for Tesla and Lamborghini Urus—a testament to his creative versatility and boundless vision.
