About the Item

Perfect for an airy sitting space, or a quiet, contemplative living room, this painting is as personal as it is colorful! Combining his love for the vintage colors of his hometown in Puerto Rico with specific references to his adopted home in St. Louis, the treasure of this painting is in its story. Characters tinged with the absurd crawl in and out of the composition, creating a weird and wonderful canvas that is sure to bring a bright and playful energy into your home. About Sam Meléndez: Sam Meléndez combines his love for all things vintage and bright colors from his home, Puerto Rico, in his work. Evidence of his process is an integral component of his paintings, creating an authentic personal narrative alongside the subject he depicts. For this reason, the grit that charcoal marks leave behind and the notes he makes while sketching the pieces are important to the final compositions. "I love the combination of the raw, black and white of the charcoal and bare canvas contrasted with the super bright colors I work with."
