Artist Feature Friday: "Portales" by Samuel Lind

Through paintings, installations, prints, and sculptures, Artist Samuel Lind explores his spiritual voyage and healing practices from the African Diaspora, not only of his native Loíza but also stimulated by his imagination. The inclusion of household objects, amulets, and totems bring together the artist’s home and the presence of his hometown of Loíza.

"Magdalena" 2019 Bomba y Plena series of Small Works

Update: (Now SOLD) I finished this piece from my bomba y plena series of small paintings and I’m pretty pleased with how she came out. A few months back I bought some pieces of linen I hand stretched, sized (primed), and then mounted onto pieces of 5” x 7” mdf panels (see photos). There’s something much more intimate and satisfying about the laborious process of creating your own painting surfaces rather than buying a canvas panel off of the store shelf.⠀

As usual, I’m stumped on a title. Unless it’s a commission or a piece that’s extremely specific, I always have trouble with titles. At this point, I think it’s an excellent and appropriate idea for the viewer(s) to assign a name to a piece. Any thoughts on a title? I’m open to any ideas that intuitively feel “right”.⠀

This piece is available now on my website under ART PRINTS
