Adnate seeks to capture the essence of humanity in his artwork, using portraiture to convey the depth and beauty of the human spirit on walls and in exhibitions. ,At the core of Adnate's art is a profound belief in the transformative power of art to bring about positive social change. His murals often feature monumental portraits of indigenous individuals shining a spotlight on their culture, heritage, and struggles. He aims to amplify their voices, drawing attention to the significance of land rights and cultural preservation.

In this work on paper adnate scales down his work, incorporating the tactile nature of paper, bridgeing the gap between his monumental public art and personal storytelling. This works shows him delving deeper into the internal world of the subject, drawing attention not just to the outward struggles of poltical and structual representation, but also to the internal fortitude and quiet strength required to persist in the face of adversity. Through this intimate medium, Adnate highlights the importance of preserving not only physical but the emotional and cultural landscapes that define identity.

One of Adnate's notable achievements is his 20-storey mural on a housing commission building in Melbourne. This mural serves as a striking portrayal of the diverse individuals and communities living in the housing estate, showcasing their stories and humanity. It has become a symbol of inclusivity and community empowerment, shedding light on those who are often overlooked and marginalized.
