International Mural Festival by Sam Brooks in Adelaide

My art connects with everyday folks and tells meaningful stories about people, place or culture. I believe art should be both beautiful and functional - whether that means increasing tourism, creating brand awareness, or celebrating a local legend. I have adapted the classical methods of oil painting, into a contemporary practice that results in unique visual effects that you see in my portfolio. I aim for the type of painting that makes people stop in their tracks. The type of painting that people will travel to see. I definitely do not seek to paint the type of painting that prompts the age-old question : "is this really considered art?" It is my personal mission to elevate, and celebrate everyday people, telling their stories through classical techniques and careful planning. I am personally inspired by jobs that demand beauty with a business outcome - whether that be increasing visitors, boosting engagement, or activating a space. Yours Kindly, Sam.
