Samuel S. Hoskins
Sacred Writings Religious and Mythological Narratives Florence Academy Oil

2023

About the Item

Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on Sacred Writing : I sought to delve into the concept of sacred texts, encompassing both religious and mythological narratives. Unlike conventional books, these sacred texts are dynamic, evolving throughout an individual's lifetime and human history. Reading such a text in childhood carries distinct significance compared to revisiting it in later stages of life. To symbolize our transformative journey, I depicted a path leading into the forest, illustrating how our life experiences influence our connection with these profound literary works. Sacred Writing 26x34 28x36 with Frame 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, IHopkins 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.

White Roses Oil Florence Academy Oil The Enchanting Fragrance of Roses
Located in Houston, TX
Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on White Roses: "White Roses" is an endeavor to evoke the enchanting fragrance of roses. One of the most delightful aspects of living in Florence, Italy, is cycling through the outskirts of the city in spring after a refreshing rain shower. The rain seems to awaken the scents of various flora. I utilized Viridian Green and Cerulean Blue to capture the cool contrast that rain imparts to the flowers, seeking to encapsulate the sensory experience of those post-rain, blossoming moments.
