Samuel. S Hoskins
As a graduate of The Florence Academy of Art and a devoted oil painter, Samuel Hoskins is enthralled by the profound interplay of creation and transformation within the physical world. Through the alchemical processes of boiling, mulling, and filtering raw materials, The artist unlocks the latent potential within humble substances like dirt and oil, elevating them to a higher dimension as vibrant oil paint. This intimate connection with the materials fosters a deep understanding of their interconnectedness and their integral role in the artistic process. Just like the oil in the oil painting, Hopkins does not perceive himself as an isolated individual striving for mere self-expression; rather, he sees himself as a humble node interwoven within the grand tapestry that connects us all together.
